Allison, Her New Family, and New Career
A poem about a woman whose modeling career and marriage fail.
Rated:

This item requires reviews with ratings.
Allison’s sweeping dirt and junk
With a broom, she’s doing a job –
Congratulating her with jovial spunk,
Is her approving boss – a big, fat slob.

She buys an outfit for a low, low price
At the locally-owned clothing boutique,
So on weekends, looking real nice,
She might date a man whom she finds unique.

But Allison’s an aspiring model,
Only for clothes or make-up she’ll pose,
She’ll model shoes and hair, as well,
But at the nudes, she’ll thumb her nose!

Then, at a fashion photo shoot,
She met the president of the agency,
This handsome and wealthy, well-dressed coot
Just dazzled Allison with looks a-plenty…

This man, Ben, and she started dating,
A successful gent with a much younger woman.
With his help, there was just no deflating,
Her career in fashion, it really began humming.

Ben and Allison eventually wed,
In a huge ceremony, attended outdoors.
They’re a perfect couple, or so everyone said,
In a circus which everyone, but those two, adores.

But life became tough as his empire crumbled;
Several events caused a dismal decline.
Ben had to sell, and the marriage just stumbled –
No more vacations or lifestyle so fine.

Allison’s modeling days were soon over;
She couldn’t find work to make ends meet.
So she went back to school for a total makeover,
Studying nutrition, her job change complete.

Her new husband, Chuck, and she are now happy,
Raising four kids while he’s gone half the week
Driving a truck, as kids, mommy, and pappy
Sparing their mommy’s old photos a peek!
