Fingernails

Fingernails begin to grow
When babies are in utero
And keep on growing ‘til we die
Though some appear to death-defy.

A person’s nails can help reveal
Why someone’s lacking in appeal;
For those not clean or way too long
Will advertise there’s something wrong.

To know what makes a person tick
Take note of nails bit to the quick,
But lengthy painted nails can tell
A lot about a gal, as well.

To polish, buff or leave them plain?
Our fingernails are our domain
And likely they are quite well matched
To those to whom they are attached.
