Perfect Imperfect

 


“We’ll, nobody’s perfect”
Some Like it Hot (1959)


“Mom, I’m too fat!”
“Dear heart you are beautiful!”
“Mom, I get all B’s”
“B’s are good”
“Mom I have no boyfriends”
“It’s early days, my pet”
“Mom, my clothes are old news”
“You always look lovely”
“Mom, some girls are mean”
“But you have good friends”
“I hate school!”
“School’s a must, my dear girl”
“Mom, I hate my hair!”
“Enough already!
Be still 
and know,
no body 
or nobody
is perfect”
