…………….The Lady Of Fashion
I know what I’ll wear if there’s smoke in the air –
…I prep for it with a hot passion.
I cannot be caught like a babe – unaware;
…For I am a lady of fashion.
The touches I add will bring praises by all
…(For frills, I am filled with compassion):
White lace and white gloves and a pink parasol,
…For I am a lady of fashion.
In case of a fire, I’ll escape in great style
…Though faces around me be ashen.
I’ll stroll down the steps with a red carpet smile.
…So said the grand lady of fashion.
