V is for Vanity – Rhymed Acrostics A to Z
Vows of vainglory may sound vapid and vague. Still, the looking-glass beckons us to reckoning.
Vanity
Vacuous though it may be,
All the world is vanity.
Notice not that we be blind,
Ill at ease, and disinclined.
Tell us what we yearn to hear,
Yes, you’re simply lovely, Dear.
