Lip Prints (she's been a lot of places)

by Bill McCloud

She leaves lip prints
wherever she goes and
she’s been a lot of places

/////////////////////////////

According to the FBI
lip prints can be used as a 
positive form of identification
Based on size and shape and
color intensity and fullness
the crease patterns the red parts 
and the white areas between them
Lip prints are unique and do not 
change during your lifetime and are
considered acceptable to forensic scientists

/////////////////////////////

She leaves lip prints 
wherever she goes
and she’s not concerned 
because she’s a good girl
