VICE AND VIRTUE
Vice and virtue
Have their appeal
I see myself
Perfect
I alone can judge
And I judge others
By my standards
As you can see
My feet
Are dainty
My legs
Curvy
A perfect woman
To be sure
My Breasts
Voluptuous
Peek out
From my beautiful dress
My face perfect
My hair the same
Of course, I am the one
To judge others
Who could do it better
I have no vices
I don’t drink or smoke
I am the one
My sole purpose
Is to judge others

I love the way your poem shows how we so often see the vices in others but fail to see them in ourselves.

You are welcome!
The line “My sole purpose” associated with judging others brings home the problem of judging others.

It is sometimes the case that the one judging has a difficult time accepting others comments and judgement too. Really like your perspective of the “perfect woman” who has no vices.
Thank you Grace, a bit tongue in cheek. It was fun.
