BEASTLY TALES

COVERALL

Heavy makeup was fashionable decades ago,
But now it seems to be back, for those in the know.
Powder Puffs and Foundation Cream,
Methodologies to help fulfil a girl’s dream.
Bright red lipstick on their smackers,
Counting pennies with their abacus,
To purchase more cosmetics so vital,
To be asked out anywhere, even a music recital.

So an advertisement that repeatedly views,
On our old friend, Cable Television and News,
Directs one on how to achieve a complexion quite flawless.
Without any work or effort, seemingly choreless.
It graphically details many unfortunate folk,
Afflicted with blemishes, just not a joke.
Freckles and rashes, birth marks and scars,
Many looked as though run over by cars.
The products on offer produced a “second skin effect”,
Surely such Cover-all make-up one couldn’t reject!
And would provide a pathway to nuptial delight.
Offering cover-all protection, without any fright!
But what about after the snare?
Would your partner wish you weren’t there?

Ladies, in the bloom of youth,
Can look so perfect, that’s the truth!
So, naturally, to not reveal any flaw,
It is reliance on cosmetics, from a reputable store.
And it’s not only the ladies, but also some men,
Seeking perfect complexions, together again.
Men, about such things, usually aren’t fussed,
About perfect looks, even flaws that disgust.
A “Warts and all” attitude does generally prevail.
Male ego not over exercised by the average male.

So, if you have a requirement to minimize pores,
Hide behind a mask, in the great outdoors.
Cosmetic Cover-alls could be the thing for you,
So, give them a try, give them their due,
Your appearance will change, be they many or few!
