Nine out of ten say she doesn't look pretty. One out of ten says she does. Nine out of ten say she never was, really. One out of ten says she was. She knows that the nine out of ten are right. With good looks she'd never been blessed. She's not foolish enough to think she could stand Up in pride when compared to the rest. And she knows that the one who says she has worth Is not suffering from fits of blindness. No, his words just refer to the goodness in her And he just wants to treat her with kindness. So, nine out of ten show her reality And one out of ten fantasy. Nine out of ten show her just what she is And one, what she can hope to be. Though she may never find the success she is seeking Still, her load is much lighter because Although nine out of ten say she doesn't look pretty One out of ten says she does. |

If I were your muse, I'd demand a vacation too! Geesh...even muses need a break once in awhile! I do remember this one well! Very good, Balladeer!  Denise |

I hope me muse didn't run off with yours ...I only allow it to be gone just so long...and I am having fits waiting for it to get back. If you see it,tell it to git on home!  Sweet poem...sounds like that 'one out of ten' is the best one!  MagnoliaBlue ~My Skipper Jim I love you! Your Lady June~ |

Balladeer~ If I were a betting gal - I'd say these are darned good odds ! 'Nine out of ten show her just what she is And one, what she can hope to be.' Wonderful, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

there must be a full moon pull of muses or something... where ever all our muses are I hope they are taking notes always enjoy your wisdom from the archives... this is sweet with it as is the poet later-wise one-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |
