An Ode To Jewelry
Tourquoise, silver, diamond and gold, costume and the real thing.
Such a simple thing
Jewelry is bling
So many uses
Some are bold
Others are gold
Then there are misuses
*
Who would ever wear those
I can just stare and oppose
Why would anyone wear that
Turquoise goes with silver
Even a nice little sliver
I can be a brat!
*
Diamonds, and gold
the more the better I'm told
Real diamonds, I prefer
I wear only the real thing
I simply love the bling
For anything else, I would refer.
*
Birthstones must be real
on a mother's ring, I squeal.
I don't know how it could be less
Without the real stones, it is costume
Do you want to wear it, I fume?
Oh, what a mess.
*
Jewelry is simply beautiful
in all shapes and sizes, joyful
it will turn a head when wearing
the perfect set. I am all for
costume and abhor
real diamonds with cz's or any mixing
*
Some will say just never mind
is it really that important to put kind
with kind? My answer is always yes.
This should be so simple
just like treating a pimple.
A wedding ring is okay to mix I guess.
*
Watches are back as some use them
to measure their steps and ahem
talk on the phone. That can be
annoying. Have you heard
a conversation from a nerd?
Making many around you angry!
*
What happened to ordinary jewelry?
Should I have written about celery?
Celery is pretty ordinary.
As I sat thinking about a topic
I looked at my hands and it was my pick.
I thought it will be extraordinary!
*
Well, now it is not for sure.
I love my collection, sir
Lots of turquoise, diamonds, and gemstones
however, it may not be ordinary enough
there really is a lot of stuff
to consider when it comes to gold, silver, and stones!
