No frilly collars nor tight blouses.
She said nice girls should wear a dress,
Below the knee and little less.
That Christian girls should dress demurely,
If they desire to live most purely.
Miss Prim said dress colours should be drab;
With little colour or just a dab.
She said no trinkets must adorn,
Just, little lipstick could be worn.
A touch of rouge for cheek colour only,
To stop the fretting that you're poorly
Miss Prim said boys should be good as well;
Not to dress as if adorned for hell.
No built-up heels to make them grow,
And scruffy hair's a no, no, no.
Boys should endeavour to be neat and trim,
Not just fat slobs but sleek, clean and slim.
Miss Prim said we should look to our dress;
And be spruced, tidy and always fresh.
She said the Lord will hope we know,
What to reveal and put on show.
So let's all receive what she's got to say,
To provocative dress let's say nay.

Unfortunately, I feel that Miss Prim doesn't relate well to the main target audience: our younger generations (?) I know it's a bit of fun, but even I (a 62yo) got a bit annoyed at Miss Prim. She came across rather judgmental and legalistic. If she had gone through a humbling experience and changed somehow, I'd have a lot more respect for her.
But then, I hardly know her. :}
I actually kept thinking that the "lesson" was going to be for Miss Prim that dress wasn't everything and that it's what's on the inside that counts, and I feel that should have been alluded to in some way, even if were just a mention that our outside appearance should reflect our faith and inner beauty.
I still liked this over all, though, and found myself smiling throughout. Nice job.
However I have also heard a few folks joke that if the barn needs painting-by all means paint it. I don't know I think we are all created beautiful in our Masters eyes.
