/// Priscille primps in the mirror, Preparing
for the Ball, choosing what she’ll be wearing.
She wants men to be staring,
but can’t come off too daring.
Censure by female guests is unsparing.
/// A black Pilgrim hat trimmed with a feather
and tight silk ballgown don’t go together.
Though this combo, she hated,
they are oddly related:
Don’t wear either in wet, stormy weather.
/// Wearing full-length gloves in olive green
allows pale upper arms to be seen.
Priscille won’t bare much skin—
she’ll suggest what’s within
with some padding to plump her poitrine.
/// Wouldn’t feet in glass slippers perspire?
Thus get slippery— that could be dire.
A trivial matter
could cause glass to shatter.
Loss of blood might make Cindy expire.
