Keeping The Mystery (Poetry)

Dust-veiled and grime-concealed
at first the vase designed to hide
its modest claim or hint
that promised quality

However, cleaning-off revealed
a stark red “Made in China” mark
such realization tagged it cheap
and sadly kind of vulgar

So, best be subtle curvy girls
keep your shrouded form discreet
beware excessive nudity
can seem ultimately tacky
