The Zoo

A woman never knows how beautiful she is
The thought almost always foremost on her mind?
Losing the extra weight she doesn’t even have
It’s seriously on her mind, all the time
The trap is clever, a modern world snare
It catches her common sense, and puts it in a zoo
So she can visit every now and then
And see it from a distance
Through solid metal bars

In a similar grotty cage right next door
Sits her self esteem
Not far away is her integrity
Which sits next to her bravery
The will to make the world a better place
Is across the central path where visitors walk
The zookeeper loves to keep his animals well tended
But in their cages, always in their cages
