I thinned it 
to give it a sing-songiness-
you may or may not choose
to leave the word,"beauty" out,
but a reader is likely to figure out the smile is sly
and as any arguement "it's all the same to me"
sits well and still is understood, since, almost everything
ends up, tasting like chicken, anyway!

The Fox and the Peacock

“I hear you are quite clever”
the Peacock told the Fox,
“no matter all your cunning,
you’ll never match my looks.”

The Fox smiles, ”Right, you are!"
the most dazzling, I may see,
but after all is said and done, 
it all, tastes the same to me.” 

Shalom
Actually I can see a wonderful meaning about the fallacy of perfect looks...
In any case even if it is silly I really like it...Chana

Good message in this Terence

I don't know the original poem but my only quibble is with the lack of rhyme fox/looks.  You could change looks to locks.
