So You've found a girl who can hold your gaze You've found a girl with those sinful curves                 that    girl    with the     lips     that you want sayin' your name Oh she's beautiful alright.  How did you get so lucky? Maybe you're not as lucky as you think you are? Does being     luscious, limber, lavacious, and alluringly lustworthy make up for being     lewd, lethargic, and a lackadaisical liar? So what that she's     ogle-worthy, optically pleasing, orgasmically ideal if she's     offensive, ostentatiously ornate, and overbearing? She may be     vivacious, voluptuous, and sexually voracious She's also      vain, vapid, vacuous, a vengeful ***** Don't let her    exotic, ****** efficaciousness Blind you to her   egocentric, evasive, envious  nature    Those lips won't look so   enticing   when they're spitting poison barbs into your heart Wouldn't you rather  have a girl Who is likeable? Who is original? Who is vibrant? Who is enough to make you happy? It's all you need Do I have to spell it out for you?

It's all you need

Trying my hand at a hidden message within the poem, and also putting the thesaurus to work. Note:  After re-reading, thought I should make myself clear -- This isn't calling out attractive men/women, it's more along the lines of "Looks are great, but if they come at the expense of a good personality, they're worthless."  There are lots of very attractive folks who have fantastic attitudes and are wonderful, lots of average looking folks who are not, and every combination in between.  There. I feel better.
