Magpie Tales 71 - The Eyes Have It - July 3, 2011

I am nearing sixty-seven,

With aches and pains, it's true,

But I really like my trademark eyes,

In every shade and hue!

With fifty years of practice,

It's so much a part of me,

I match the outfit of the day,

With no colors less than three!

I could paint the Sistine Chapel,

With the shadows I possess,

But I always want another,

To match that very special dress!

As I age, it gets much harder,

To get it all on right,

Soon I'll have to give it up.

Or I might just look a fright.

BUT, should I win the lottery,

I will see if I can find,

A resident make up artist,

To give me peace of mind.
