All Dressed-up
©2011 by Mollie Pearce McKibbon
I took time at dressing.
My clothes were all brand new
And I took extra time
To shine my high-heeled shoes.
With hair carefully coiffed
And my eyelashes a-curl,
I thought, there’ll be no doubt
That I’m a modern girl.
************************
My pink nail polish matched
The latest springtime theme.
My lipstick was shiny
And my eye shadow a-sheen.
I’d sprayed and I’d powdered
From my head to my feet.
In my mind was no doubt-
The picture was complete.
****************************
Assured by my mirror
Upon the bedroom wall,
I knew I was ready
For every protocol.
Wearing my sweetest smile,
I stepped out my front door
To a loud clap of thunder
And an instant rain downpour!
