No Less Than Perfect

Comb your hair,
Pet your face,
Spend your money,
Don't be a disgrace

A's and B's-
No less than that
C's and D's mean
We fall in social stats

Perfection only,
No less than pretty
I'll carve you out of
Your original ugly

Fix your life,
Don't love that way
Don't throw our earnings and
Perfection away

Comb your hair,
Don't be a disgrace
You broke that rule,
So leave with no trace

No less than perfect,
Straight, or pretty
You disobey and you'll
Rot till your teeth are gritty

No less than perfect,
Slim, sublime,
One day he shall claim you,
And say, "You are mine."

No less than perfect-
It's for all the good reasons,
But you don't care,
You live life without season

No less than perfect-
That was used to be you
But now you are ugly,
And no beauty can fix you

Leave this place,
Never look back,
And don't let me hear
You ever call me Dad
