It Is Outrageous
It is audacious to call her curvaceous
while she looks like a stick.
It is outrageous to call her voracious
while she starves herself sick.
It is fallacious to call her courageous
while she quickly caves in.
It is outrageous to call her tenacious
while she quits with a grin.
It is hellacious to call her pugnacious
while she bids all goodwill.
It is outrageous to call her predacious
while she never could kill.
It is bodacious to call her vivacious
while she withers away.
It is outrageous to call her sagacious
while she acts dumb today.
It is ungracious to call her contagious
while she has no health fears.
It is outrageous to call her fugacious
while she outlives her peers.
It is mendacious to call her salacious
while she sings in the choir.
It is outrageous to call her flirtatious
while she means to inspire.
