Pink Ribbons & Perfumed, Dressed Up & Well Groomed, 2 pages, 32 lines
(continued from above) The 7th couplet states: "Bogging down in the quagmire, E'er wanting it to be so, Rolling in the mud and mire, Ne'er mind the ribbon or bow." The poem closes making a parallel comparison showing how clothes do not make a man or woman, no matter how fine, but character. The poem is very expressive and humorous, and most instructive. It closes with a line of ultimate wisdom that all need to hear.
