Joneses Jetset

From George Washington’s Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior:
#54 Play not the Peacock, looking everywhere about you,
to see if you be well decked…

JONESES JETSET

Maude, she did pile her accoutrements high
upon her head - peacock-in-style. So sly,
     she looked up and down
     with thumbs up or frown.
This fashion afficionada spies.

I'm laughing just thinking about the "accoutrements" piled on her head, resembling a peacock. Very witty, Kim. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
