Poetry: Mannequins

by Christine G.

Created on: April 22, 2008

Mannequin, mannequin,
Wouldn't it be great
to trade my body in
for a perfect Size 8!

Mannequin, mannequin,
wouldn't it be cool
to be perfectly dressed,
and never play the fool!

Mannequin, mannequin,
what a thrill,
not to worry or fret
about the grocery bill!

Mannequin, mannequin,
wouldn't it be neat
to have a pain-free back
and uncalloused feet!

Mannequin, mannequin,
what would I do,
given the chance
to be like you?

The answer is easy.
I'd quit the first day.
The price of perfection
is too much to pay.
