Sense Sonnet - Acher

 I'm Old Enough

All of my friends have parents who

Let them use makeup, but I've got

Parents who will not let me do

Makeup till I'm older a lot.

But I put makeup on when I'm

Not at home, then take off before

My parents see me any time.

Makeup makes me look pretty more,

Especially when I'm at school,

Where looks is real important stuff.

My parents' ban's a stupid rule.

I'm six years old, that's old enough.

My parents' ban is no big deal.

I just go to the store and steal.
