NELL

Although she came from humble five-and-dime,
her pearls are faux and Clairol tints her mane,
the lovely Nell is class personified.
Her character is most urbane:

she's generous, genuine and refined;
she's gracious, poised, polite and quite genteel;
she's courteous, considerate and kind;
her temperment proves worth is not financial.

But don't confuse a style with conform;
she pairs her pearls with tats and drives a bike.
And never think Nell's weak because she's warm;
she teaches kids karate and loves to hike.

Articulate, she often speaks her mind.
Sweet Nell is perspicacious defined.
