Sarcophagus Soul

- -     Deplorable Dora    - - 
                  
Destined to request the best and never get it
Regular ordinary bored her
When temptation came and offered improvement 
You can bet she accepted
Barbie bold angel - curvaceous temptress blonde
Sold Dora her magnetism
For the itty bitty price of her one and only soul


With glee she took the opportunity to be pretty
Empty insides didn't matter
Faced places the following day a new alluring lady
Dozens were dazzled by her
Dora had the power to charm, disarm with a wink
Simple smile froze stubborness
Turned reluctance into assurance of every success


Elation gained from gorgeous appearance served
Facile needs realised easily 
Bits of bared curves cured problems, were solutions 
Glimpses of bouncy cleavage
Given whenever an impediment threatened her way
Lined her path in platinum
Painted her gate with hate repellent saint lipped gold


Enamoured Dora thought her thorough transforming
Had squeezed all potential fault
Wrong's possible not at all in existence any more
When her Grandma sadly passed 
She knew her Disney duty was to brighten and shine
Hot white of wet metal Dora 
Sauntered into the church in scanty sequin bikini


Took the looks of shock and aghast to be admiration 
Stilettoed amble of wayward
Unashamedly clutched casket's edge with teal talons
Glorious Dora suddenly covered 
By alter robes, chivalrous cape flown to her shoulders 
Poor Dora anointed thought
Super hero status had been granted, instead of desperate 


Request for modesty
