Non-Erotic PoetryMean Girl PantoumPretending to have been a debutant,
she isn't much more than hoi polloi,
trying to act so nonchalant.
You'd think she was Helen of Troy.
She isn't much more than hoi polloi,
having worked her way through college.
You'd think she was Helen of Troy,
resplendent with beauty and knowledge.
Having worked her way through college,
she's better than that prissy Ruth,
resplendent with beauty and knowledge,
born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
She's better than that prissy Ruth
in and out of the boss's office,
born with a silver spoon in her mouth,
so prim and proper and cautious
in and out of the boss's office,
resplendent with beauty and knowledge,
trying to act so nonchalant,
pretending to have been a debutant.
