All dressed up in designer greed with the emphasis on vanity rather than need. So impressed with designer labels topped off with chinchilla, fox or sable. I can't help but wonder, Can she really think that she needs that fur coat more than the mink. Ida Werrett |

I would imagine she doesn't give much thought to the mink, Ida, just the mirror. ~*~ How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. ~*~ |

fine 'social impact'/social conscience 'write' ! that's the 'Runaway American Dream' (the land where the entirely self-focused worship at the altar of the almighty dollar bill) ... Those (few) that got it, flaunt it ! The (already chasmic) dichotomy between the ever-fewer rich and the ever greater number of poor is perpetually widening |

As an animal rights advocate, your poem is a great representation of that feeling of mine |

I think it would be very interesting to see what the dear little animals would look like in her skin. Good for you, Ida! You, go girl! Well done! Couldn't agree with you more! Owl |

Well said, Ida. Someone has left a fur coat here for me to store for them - gives me the creeps. Can't even touch it let alone wear it. |

I agree with the others here, definitely, the mink needs it more than the minx! Enjoyed! |

Wow, the cruelty of man, for vanity, makes me shake my head in sadness. Well done, Ida. E |
