What a bizarre news is in the press

The world’s longest Flamenco dress



With a thirteen meters’ lengthy tale

Was worn by a Spanish female



Carrying two hundred kilos’ weight

Of precious cloth as sure as fate



I wonder what the watchers gain

How does this prospect entertain?



What for the people are insane

Is the whole function not in vain



Is this the way the things should go

Is it not mere pomp and show?



Sheer display of extravagance

Or snobbish pride of performance



Fanciful gratification

Or pretentious ostentation



Lavish use of time and finance

What’s the use of such an instance?



In stead of seeing frenetic dance

Around us we ought to have a glance



There is millions of indigent

Penniless, needy, insolvent



For down-and -out we shut the door

Are they not humans we ignore?



We owe a bit of what we get

Or we are prone to be in debt



If we don’t give them some relief

Some day we might be filled with grief



We do not happen to believe

Our ancestors, Adam and Eve



Put on Flamenco dress or robe

Be sure none is bare on the globe
