The Town's Number One Beauty Poem by Francis Duggan

The town's number 1 beauty in her physical prime
But she is losing out to the passing of time
With brown hair dye nowadays she covers her gray
But the obvious wear of time on her ageing body even clothed she cannot hide away
Cosmetics have helped her to smooth the wrinkles from her legs, hands, neck and face
Though her sagging body of ageing does show every trace
The town's number 1 beauty fifty years ago
Though time eventually does become everyone's foe
A divorced grandmother in her mid seventies her better days gone
But the lust for life in her wills her to live on
As the town's number one beauty her praises were sung
And though attractive she was far more so when she was young
A brown haired brown eyed beauty back in her prime day
But now in brown hair dye she covers her gray.
