Monique's Mystique Boutique

Once a little girl named Monique
Dreamt of opening up a boutique
Between the creek and clinique  
Thought long of every technique

Her sign above would be no antique
It would glow and actually speak
   “Hello we’re MYSTIQUE -
   Open every day of the week
   Come on in, have a peek
   We sell clothes that are chic
   Indian silks from the Sikh
   Colourful lace and batik
   For women of every physique
   You’ll love us, we’re unique
   And for lunch, stay fill your beak
   Try Mom’s soup of fenugreek and leek“

While others were playing hide-and-seek
Little Monique dreamt of opening her boutique
