THOUGHTS IN A BEAUTY SHOP, by MAUDE R. MEYER First Line: Quiet and busy hands Last Line: (my thoughts have been worth the price). Subject(s): Beauticians | |||
Quiet and busy hands, Perhaps a word or two, "How do you like your nails?" "Shall we try an oil shampoo?" What do they think all day, These girls who work with care, Dolling a beauty up, Making my lady fair? What is the difference here, Isn't it all the same? Isn't it living the life, Aren't we playing a game? What will it matter at last Whether she worked and I played? Isn't our life all set, Aren't our circles made? "O! am I through so soon?" "Thank you, it's very nice." "O yes, I'll come again." (My thoughts have been worth the price). | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEAUTICIAN by THOMSON WILLIAM GUNN BURNS by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER THE SHRINE OF VENUS by ANTIPATER OF SIDON TO SWEET MEAT, SOUR SAUCE; AN IMITATION OF THEOCRITUS OR ANACREON by PHILIP AYRES SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 23 by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) SONNET (3) by JOACHIM DU BELLAY THE PRINCE OF PEACE by EDWARD HENRY BICKERSTETH THE CHURCHYARD by ROBERT WILLIAMS BUCHANAN |
