Hey Hi, Fair Dame
Can you sing for me?
Yes Sir, Yes Mam
From where do you come?
A choir for the office
dancing to tunes
A distracted family
will need a Rap soon
Hey Hi, Fair Dame
Can you pose for me?
Yes Sir, Yes Mam
From where do you come?
I dress sharp for work
then a party tonight
casuals on weekends
make me feel light
Hey Hi, Fair Dame
Can you look at me?
Yes Sir, Yes Mam
From where do you come?
a hand in the kitchen
an eye on the phone
fingers on keyboards
a goddess less than none
Hey Hi, Fair Dame
Can you think now?
Yes Sir, Yes Mam
Please tell me how
a mask for the office
a face for the home
a mind ticking away
but it bothers some…

Ah, the masks we wear. One for every occasion. Well said!

Excellent, Reena. There are really many more faces and how the mind changes its tune is really intriguing.

I like your use of the childhood rhyme, and the idea of the layers of image that we present to the world.

Clever, for sure. I love the variations on the verse, the art that inspired this writing and, of course the underlying lessons. This seems like something most of us know by experience.

Fascinating display of the many faces we wear (I think) — brings to mind the 4-faced Brahma.

There are many more. One should be aware which face is speaking.

Clever alternating the old language lyrics with the new.
