No Substance

THE Pitfalls of Pretty 
Is like being
"Tall and that's all"
The Boys want
the Girls want..
No one wants to 
pay
Upkeep 
Fee..
No maintenance
I am free. 
Cheap
Just say 
"Pretty please." 
to Please me..
And I am yours.
Eager and desperate
To let my pretty please
you.
All I have is my 
PRETTY
I need to
To retain 
MY pretty.
To keep the pretty, 
Pretty.! 
Pretty soon my pretty
is disappeared,
And no pretty
attitude established 
No pretty personality
developed...
Pretty is now pretty
Petty,shaky and shabby.
Has built no Character ,
No substance
on which to stand.
So she falls into the pitfalls
Of being Pretty ...and that's all
