Vanity
Vanity, the latest trick
Standing there with your selfie stick
Clamping your mobile phone
For your egotistic picture clone
Lets take a close look at lady Lou
Which are the real parts of you
From top to bottom, seeking attentions
Beginning with your hair extensions
Which are the same colour as your hair
Although now chestnut once was fair
Beautiful eyes to attract boyfriends
That will be those contact lens
Eye lashes, long and slick
Eyebrows plucked or painted slick
Mascara, toner, eye shadow, lipstick
False beauty, that will do the trick
Padded bra, protruding breasts
Look at me, it all suggests
Finger nails long and sleek
Very perfect, very chic
Toe nails painted different shades
Glitter sprinkled of different grades
Your body sprayed California tan
That will help you get your man
What when he sees you in the nude
Thinking, this is not the girl I wooed
So cast away, the unreal you
You may find a love that’s true
Cast away that selfie stick
You will find true love, take your pick
