The Dress
They searched and searched
To find the rest
Of Mrs. Jello's
Daring dress.
Most eyes were glued
Right at the spot
Where Mrs. Jello's
Dress was not.
While contemplating
More or less
"Is dress intact?
Or "Not a dress."
I feel that 'all'
The dress was there
The distribution
Seemed unfair
With so much gathered
Down below
And less the farther
UP you go.
The whole affair
We'll put to rest
The casualty
Mrs. Jello's dress.
