Ransom's Blue Girls Revisited

Blue Girls John Crowe Ransom Styling in your leggings, wildly designed, Strutting to classes in your modern schools— While texting. Roll your eyes at those old fools Who think they're so refined. Toss back the pink extensions in your hair, And think no more of SAT's at all. But plan to meet bff's at the mall To shop for earrings there. Make duck-face selfies while guys who watch dream about your lovely, well-toned flesh so tight. It will sag some day, bringing no delight— in spite of firming creams. You think I don't know beauty, but I do! I know a woman with a poison tongue and beady eyes that used to be bright-blue. She turned heads near and far when she was young and surely knocked the shine off all of you.
