The Great Eleven follows The Magnificent Seven

While in my soft recliner with dried fruit and ginger ale
Watching The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
I dozed into another world and dreamt a new folktale
The Great Eleven 'istics' of the KissingLips

It all started with . . .                                                                                    

Optimistic and Artistic, Leaders of the Pack
The best aesthetic standards in our world
Pesimistic and Sadistic, second in the stack
With the worst painful pleasures, desires are unfurled

followed by . . .                                                                                          

Idealistic and Futuristic, heads up in the clouds
Beaming with a smile luck bestowed
Fatalistic and Realistic, presenting to the crowds
The gloomy future for us down the road

and finnally . . .                                                                                          

While Capitalistic and Characteristic, bringing up the rear
Are outstanding with five fine syllables each
Of all these 'istics'on the pampas the one I mostly cheer
Is being Naturalistic, on the beach
