Who Wants to Only Shine and Gad About



Ashley Dunigan


Who Wants to Only Shine and Gad About


While beauty may be a rare treasure
Wit, courage, and kindness, are more of a pleasure
And more often than not those without grace
Are the ones who win any race


This is where Perrault's tale
Lacks the most, without fail
How could she become a queen
While snidely teaching her sisters to be serene?


Serenity and grace are gifts more boring than a dress
Instead use wit and knowledge to impress
To be a person of interest, lets women confer
And think about what we prefer


It is a benefit
To show real courage and have some wit
To have good sense and pride too
For these things don't simply fall from the blue
Let us throw Perrault's moral out
Unless you wish only to shine and gad about
