PEARL.
Once upon a rhyme lived a princess named Pearl.
Her Daddy was a king. She was a wealthy little girl.
People came from near and far, to bow down before her.
But Pearl knew, that there were few, who came to adore her.
"Pretenders called me darling-dear. Coveters called me honey.
But that is just their beguiling way to get at Daddy's money."
"I wonder how they'd treat me, if they thought I am poor.
I'll shroud myself in shabby dress and play like I am sore."
"They are here; so am I.
Many people pass me by."
"I cried out...How'd you like to be me?"
Got no response...they didn't even see."
"Next time they show up at Daddy's place.
I wonder how many, will remember my teary face."
