I'm going to limit myself
To Just talk about
Express
And Limited Too
Today
I washed myself
With "Berry Cool Sparklicious"
Body wash from Limited Too...
Hahaha.... How old am I?
Breaking into the soap stash
With all the Bath & Body Works
I like to be Sparklicious
Glitter is girly
And unexpected
In fact I've gotten
"What the hell are you... a f***ing Pixie!"
"Now I have glitter on me!"
"The herpes of the craft department"
That's what we called it
At my old job... RA's are crafty
Well anyway,
Limited Too
Is for cool kids
Trendy kids
But it is limited
To about 9 - 13.
Preteens who are small
Too small for adult sizes
Today
My sparkled self
Went to the dry cleaners
To pick up Edited Editors
Hemmed to Perfection
From Express
The Express is limited
To people with a good job
I used to not go in there
I didn't have a real job
Now I love the place
So many colors of pants
Cut just right
Perfect for work
I just wish that the pants
Were shorter
I don't wear stilettos
To work
I don't wear stilettos
Period
Express should offer Hemming.
I'm 5' 5" after all.
Express had Express Men next door
Looks like where I should go
To pick up men
Who have a good job
And who look good
At their good job
Men: looking good + having a good job = chick magnet
