Odious Ode

She sat beneath a shady tree
Pretty, Pert and sweet was she
Until a soft breeze lifted her skirt
Showing her knees which were full of dirt.

Shabby shoes and smelly socks
looked odd with lovely Golden locks
The sweet-faced girl appeared serene.
Sad her feet and legs weren't clean.

I have seen something similar - when I forget to look really hard at the underside of my arms where I always put them into paint.

G'Day Rico, I think her soap may have been on an extra-long rope.
