Just In Case

Just in case
I’m in an accident,
You know the line:
My undies won’t be rent!
I’ve donated my organs
In case I expire,
Due to boredom
On the day I retire!

Just in case,
I hold my stomach in,
For you never know when
You’ll need to look thin!
My hair is curled,
My dress so fine;
If someone should call
I’m haute couture divine!

Just in case,
My legs are shaved,
My breath is fresh,
My bed is made!
I think I’ve covered
Every base
To save me from
Any unwitting disgrace!

Just in case,
I’ve spent my time,
Making things perfect,
Making things sublime!
Now I wonder:
Was it all a waste?
For I’m sitting here
Alone and chaste!
