tidy groomy trim

arqios

TRIM, slim, and shiny

I search and rummage

through the vanity

my nails all grimey



Trim claw-like integument

clip--clip-- snip and clip

get them all in shape

file them, keep them squared



TRIM, slim, and shiny

back into the vanity

the drawer is never tidy

my nails no longer grimy

  • Comment from author about the poem: Trim was a brand of nail clippers with a shiny nickel plated finish. A bit of a playful rhyme from yester-year.

    I'm glad someone's integuments are trim. It's all right for some, having trim integuments! I might faint if I didn't know what they were. lol.

      True, they are 'unsightly' or more correctly 'unhearly' words hahaha

      Brilliant!
      this is deep, dear Poet:
      'cleanliness is next to godliness'
      while soldiers, must
      be in uniform to be and act, 'as one'..
      while society's first impressions
      are dependant on clean shoes and
      trimmed nails..
      meanwhile our cupboards, just can't
      get clean!
      (deep!
      could unpack this all day long..
      well done!)

        There is that public ready part of the self and the other part that rarely gets into the spotlight. Thanks L.B.

          I suppose, because they are always on display, we need to keep them neat and tidy. But they do have a very evolutionary basis. We can do so many things with them; grow them, cut them, buff them, paint them, chew them, scratch with them, peel labels with them. What would we do without them?

            Exactly! Thanks Bella 🙏🏻💅🏻
