Precious Beauty
PRECIOUS BEAUTY
Joe and me went to a local Christmas ball
Just looking for a couple of girls, that’s all
Saw two girls standing together there
One had dark hair the other fair
Dark one had crystal blue sapphire eyes
Which sparkled in constant surprise
And below these gems were her lips luscious
Red as rubies but much more precious
And between these jewels were teeth pearls
To easily outshine those of other girls
She wore the simplest of pink dresses
And had no stones to adorn her dark tresses
Joe said later he admired the fair one
And the lovely jewels she had on
Strange but I never noticed her at the ball
I was rapt by the dark one with no jewels at all.
