The story of Gail

I have a friend named Gail

Who feels she is too pale

Thinks she cannot get a man 

Unless she gets a tan

 

I understand her feeling

A tan may look appealing

I should tell Gail the story

How looks are transitory 

 

I have a friend named Dee

Who felt the same as she

Wanted to get a man

And got one with her tan

 

The relationship didn't last

Now Dee is so downcast

Her man didn't find appealing 

When her face started peeling

 

Dee got very shaky

When her face got flaky

She thought she'd use some makeup

But her man said they must break up

 

I hope that my friend Gail 

Will learn a lesson from this tale

What's outside shouldn't count

What's inside's paramount
