Fullertoon: Budgets for Dummies BY Sean Lefler Literature of Life by KURT TELLEZ “Read ‘em and Weep” The Most Beautiful Girls

The most beautiful girls will talk off your ears

Sometimes they’re silent or so it appears

The most beautiful girls are skinny and tall

They’re short and they’re round like the ones you recall

The most beautiful girls won’t notice you’re there

Some eyes are glued into forever stare

The most beautiful girls are the poorest of poor

So filthy rich with a house on the shore

The most beautiful girls are the patient and kind

Relentless, outspoken, the ones on your mind

Hiding in plain sight, assured that they’re there

The most beautiful girls are everywhere
