Getting Ready....date night

Getting Ready....date night

A Poem by Onlyme

Botox, leg waxing,
false nails, dyed hair
Brazilian, pedicure,
manicure this list is
endless.

Even before they
get their outfit for
the night out and
matching shoes
and a handbag.

Gee when I was young.
My grandmother used to
tell me they would stain
their legs with cold tea
for a tan and then use a
mascara eyeliner pencil.

To put a straight line up
the back of their
legs.

So it would look
like a pair of stockings,
they had on.

And a little bit of lipstick
and curls in their hair
from old-fashioned steel
curls they had in.
For a few
hours before date.

And just before they get
ready with a nice dress
they would take them out.
As their hair would be set for
the date ahead.

O,h how times have changed!.

But not the excitement of a
new date with someone
you fancied.

Girls on date be like:

Girls- “Just give me a sec.” Applies moisturizer, foundation, concealer, highlighter, eye primer, eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, lip-gloss. And says, “Just give me a sec more.”
