Here they come again -
"Nasty little buggers!"
As if all the attention was not enough,
You have to announce your Highness's arrival.


Jealous?  Me?
Hardly.


I find you both humorous -
With your indigo pleather straps
And Dollar Tree plumage.
You make sure to be seen, and not just heard.


Envious?  Me?
Hardly.


Just know come wintertime, you'll be gone -
Stashed into some package deal cosmetic tote,
Like the kind you get at the Estee Lauder counter
("Free with twenty-five dollar purchase")
She wouldn't spend real money on you.


Go ahead!  Keep on screaming for attention!
Sounds more like she's walking on fly paper.
We all know she's coming.
It's not YOU who warns us, but her perfume.


Flip, Flop, Flip, Flop...
Just THINK you are all that.


When the next season rolls around, you'll be replaced,
Just like those who give her attention.
She's been around this block before.
We ALL know the routine.

Cute, with a touch of melancholy.

An intriguing write.

Sounded like you were writing about me.
