I knew a girl in school named Sue (the girl was named sue, not the school). 
She was as pretty as cotton candy but never was asked to dance at the prom. 
Seems like her dress was the same floral pattern as the wall and no one knew 
she was there as all they could see was the wall flowers.

But she was one to hide her light under a bushel basket.
