Pride, Prejudice and Poetry

The Paradise

The dresses are lined up boxes and wrapped in tissue

With scented spritzers adding a delicate fragrance

And this is just the store room.

The front of the shop is stunningly sophisticated

As ladies in black await your command

They are well spoken and pleasing is their desire

Accompanying boxes hold jewellery and gloves

All made of the finest of fabric

Even the buttons are selected and sewn by hand

Ladies wear is the biggest section

But Murray plants to expand this palace of pure indulgence

If you desire it then The Paradise can sew it

Or order it in from foreign shores

This is a place where a lady can feel at home

Amongst beautiful gowns and glistening pearls

Though the shop shines it is a gracious tone

Making the most of the opulent wears

While the girls sink into the background

Until you need their assistance

They are so very well trained at compliment and design

"Perhaps this sash in the midnight blue" you may hear

"Yes Ma'am anything you require" you definitely shall

But there is drama cloaked behind these doors

Of things you will never see

Because Miss Audrey demands the highest of standards

So visit the girls in this very special place

Clara will fix your dress and Denise will match the shoes

This is a place you will feel beautiful inside and out

Dressing is not a cost it is a treat to your state of mind
