short nails can do work
Six fancy ladies came for tea
Wearing painted six-inch-long fingernails
They could barely pick up their cups
I have no idea how they put on their stockings
They wore shiny sequin party dresses
Most had been to the beauty shop
Their hostess’s nails were short
She had been working in the kitchen all morning.
The finger foods were super delicious.
Stories and laughter prevailed.
Kids carried the fancy ladies' purses to their cars.
None of them could grip anything with those super long nails.
