First-World Problems

Known by the rich as a sartorial man
I saw only a heinous tan
More dyed than sun-kissed
I couldn’t see through to a taste ton-blessed
Etiquette demanded I bow low
But I knew he was a faux beau
What do you do as a great milabiliary
With a face with less man and more strawberry?
I squeezed my lips tight upon a boohoo
And declared him as beautiful as my emu
