You Are Not 04:00
You are not, you are not, you are not a polka dot. You are not a polka dot or a candy stripe, Not a multi-coloured spot Nor a gingham type. Not a floral or a spiral nor a paisley print, Not a tartan or a zigzag nor a pastel tint. You are a unique pattern Like snowfall in Manhattan. You're like a crystal snowflake, Translucent and yet opaque. You are first, you are last, and your beauty's unsurpassed, You are not, you are not, you are not a polka dot.
