Meretricious

Showy, taudry (adj)

Cheryle the suburban meter maid
had such long and fake and painted fingernails
that she couldn't write parking tickets
and all the people
with the Benzes and Beamers and Volvos
and everything
that parked everywhere
gave her gift certificates to
manicurists every christmas
and the cards they wrote her had
smiley faces and exclamation marks
and were signed with the word "love."
