so fast to frowns
from smiles to upside down
Elise, Elise
fine fair hair
blankets of care
mile-wide blue-eyed stare
Elise, Elise
transformed
to be turned out
another girl from the
wonder wheel
Betty Crocker approved
edges removed
Elise, Elise
you're quite the sliver
of cherry pie
no whip, no frills
but the remade girl
to catch the prize
enough to stir
a Mother's pride
enough to make
the eyes assess--
and eyebrows rise
Elise,Elise
why still
do you possess such a will
and refuse to smile?
