"A woman without a ring is like
perfume without a scent"
maggieblue says that

~also~
"A ring without a stone has to be
heavy silver or gold, preferably gold..."
maggieblue says that too

~also~

Rings on the fingers,
rings on the toes...
but do not think
a ring in the nose.

A jewel in the nose might be nice
a diamond, sapphire, citrine
would suffice.

But pearls in the nose,
that's really a 'Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkk...'
Who has sniffed up a pearl
knows this is a risk!
maggieblue says that too

Au Revoir, Beloved.
