Use and Abuse
There are a few of those, who enter talent shows
because they want to be, one of those pros
Those who do compete, range from young to old
and have the strength, to be bright and bold
Some people start to think, I don’t like the look of you
but looks are deceiving, to not bring out a boo
Then out of the blue, you hear a great voice or two
and you think to yourself, phew, am I a bent screw
Being amazed at your talent, they give you a prize
so now it’s time, for you to stand up and rise
You need some help, to create a new life
so you listen to the experts, who know how to strive
They say your looks, need a big make up
so we can all feed, our treasure cup
Or what we good do, is just use your voice
with someone else’s looks, would be our clients’ choice
Because the beautiful sell, for them to feast
they are allowed to use and abuse, beauty and the beast
