/// One’s in white, while her sister’s in pink,
and their attitudes show how they think.
Celesse, noble and classy;
Desarae, somewhat sassy,
(and more likely to end up in mink).
/// The bold girl in rose knows she’s a honey,
but in business she thinks nothing’s funny.
A change purse and a watch
hang between waist and crotch,
just to prove she’s aware “Time is Money.”
/// Celesse won’t look a man in the eye.
She is proper, high-minded and shy.
Desarae likes to quip,
with her hand on her hip,
and imply that she might well comply.
/// Sweet Celesse is a real “Gibson Girl,”
with a wasp-waist and large chignon curl.
Desarae is one too,
she’ll drinks Gibsons with you;
dry martinis with small onions (pearl).
/// Miss Celesse is a virginal maid.
She’s demure, truly pure, even staid.
Sister Desarae’s been
well acquainted with sin.
She’s a tease with a front hanging braid.
(…but she hasn’t as yet gotten laid.)
