I Have To Look Younger By Tomorrow

I have to look younger by tomorrow
my hair is being dyed right now
I plan to stop at a pharmacy
will buy some make up
have not worn any for years
not sure I can make myself up any more
plan to do a good job trying
thinking of lipstick colors now
pink?
too seventies
red?
forties
orange?
why not? she is my favorite color
she ought to look good on me
