Beauty is only skin deep and sets some folks apart
Yet very homely people may have beauty in their heart
The braggart and the beauty may not own each others souls
Unhappy shall such couples be for whom that sad bell tolls

The man must feel cheated for his dreams are not complete
And any man in the world can admire her beauty on the street
The man to keep his macho dignity will not easily confess
That within their home of homes they very rarely caress

Meanwhile the homely man won the heart of the homely maid
He comes home each evening to a dinner that is lovingly displayed
The dog is glad to see him and his children scream with glee
And for father of the year he would be their only nominee

The television sits idly in the corner as they each replay their day
As the son talks of home runs and the daughter practices ballet
The next day is a day that’s special so early on they all retire
While the dog dreams of rabbits on the rug in front of the fire

Both families may see each other at the church they both attend
They may wave to each other because not to would offend
The beauty picked out her jewelry thinking of what her friends will say
While the homely one is treated like a queen for it is Mothers Day.
