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 CHAMBER MUSIC: 21 by JAMES JOYCE ARCTURUS IN AUTUMN by SARA TEASDALE ROAST LEVIATHAN by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THE DESPONDING SOUL'S WISH by JOHN BYROM THE DOG by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ABYSS by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS A WASTED MORNING by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
