How Do You Follow Perfect

You can’t be serious She’s nothing but a hag Her clothes don’t match Her hair’s a mess She can’t be bothered To wear a dress No lipstick, blush or style at all Her hips have got that housewife sprawl How could you prefer her to me When it’s clear my equal she Will never be As for brains, she’s sadly lacking If I were you I’d send her packing

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your candid thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
