That Wedding Dress

Where have the years gone, when I was a lass,
So filled with laughter, and full of sass?
 
How am I here just fluffing through school,
Opportunity passed in the face of this fool,
Everything was a joke but I couldn't see,   
Took nothing serious,  how bad could that be?
 
But the two things I had were still face and ass,
That none of the gents could resist or  pass,
So I waltzed down the aisle on my one last dare,
And wound up marrying a cool millionaire.

But that's not to say you should go that style,
You may fall on your face or your ass for a while,
But you'll be the one who made your success,
Just watch out for the girl in that wedding dress!
