Never Be a Lady

She wears a veil
And sits
As Ladies all should do
With pointed toes
A dress that glows
She marvels all who see
But the veil, it hides
A face
One we all have seen
In a barnyard sty
But you'll make her cry
If you utter the word, "Pig"
She wears a veil
To hide
As Ladies all should do
But a piggy nose
And human toes
Mean a lady she'll never be
