SO MANY FLOWERS

With Real Toads--d'Verse Poets Pub

Ugly people
mate for life
just like a barn owl
and his wife.


But pretty people
don't give a damn
they'll make it with
whomever they can.


just because they can


Now ugly folks
they count their blessings
grateful for what they've got--
while pretty people
they count their notches
and they always get a lot.


The prime examples
are in the movies
they are up on screen
displaying their boobies.


They're subject to temptation
and often they give in--
their couplings last about as long
as Kim Kardashian's.


You'd think with all the choices
their lives would be sublime
but flitting bees will tell you 
of so many flowers
and so little time.


But when your face
could stop a clock
and your waist is fifty-eight,
the finer things in life--like love
you've learned to appreciate.


And ugly people
mate for life
like Danny de Vito
and his wife.


Alas, life's cruelest joke 
is played upon the pretty...
they're not to be worshiped
admired or revered...
but only to be pitied
