Girls of yesterday,

Were ladies of ingenuity and grace.

Borne to be beautiful,

Borne to have a place.

Girls of yesterday,

Wore lace and frills.

With bows, ribbons, and pins,

They knew only simple house skills.

Girls of yesterday,

Were masters of delicacy.

They would read and speak with a proper tongue,

As many were raised in aristocracy.

Girls of today,

Are on their phones all the time.

They Tweet on Twitter,

They answer every chime.

Girls of today,

Speak with shortcuts and slang.

Dancing like military acrobats,

Going out with a bang.

Girls of today,

Sometimes can barely cook or clean.

Lazy and sarcastic,

Many are just plain mean.

Girls of tomorrow,

Will hopefully compromise.

On how to handle our past, present and future,

Save this world from its demise.

Girls from all over,

Every culture, every race.

Remember this, I say to you,

You'll always have a place.
