Anatomically and aesthetically and politically correct
Cleavage, but hide it beneath a turtleneck
Youthful and bright and bathed in sunlight
Your highest points showcased in a glowing spotlight
But then cooler tones reveal hollowed cheekbones
And threaten to shame the silhouette of your frame
You, self-assured yet eternally humble
You, strong yet ready and willing to crumble
Smart, but don’t you dare try to think for yourself
We have a system in place and it’s working so well
Creative, but stick to what it is that you’re taught
Thoughtful, so thoughtful, but maybe limit those thoughts?
And if your thinking starts edging outside of the box
Shove it back in and keep your pretty legs crossed
Excuse each word that may slip from the perfect pout of your lips
Because after all, you’re no more than your tits and your hips
Hips that carry your past, your body, and our future
With fine little lines that ought to be smoother
And remember, you, girl! Don’t you dare show too much
Of just what it is you are capable of
