Show And Tell Notting Hill 2018
Young black beauty in a skimpy outfit has second thoughts
Protecting her beauty from the cameras and the gawkers
Having second thoughts about her budding cleavage
Does she know about the French 16th century poet, Pierre Ronsard
And his famous words about youth that I will attempt to translate for you
“O pretty young one, let’s go see the rose that just flower’d today
See if its purple dress, under the Sun
Has yet lost the freshness of the morning dew”…
The wheels of time are in motion, and what you have today
Tomorrow will be lost, so gather the fruits of life while they last
