She bought a lovely dress
For a very special night,
Then found she had TO have a hat
To make the dress look right.
But, trying on these garments,
She knew them incomplete
Until she purchased modish shoes
To complement her feet.
Arrayed in her new finery
She couldn't help but note
That TO attain real elegance
Demanded a new coat.
The coat cried out for gloves,
The gloves a pocketbook,
To give the whole ensemble
That really perfect look.
But still she lacks perfection,
A lack that's growing worse
For now she has no money
