Please note they advertise
With twenty something models
Beside adoring guys!

I fell for it, I must admit;
(Actually, several times!)
Some things to know, before you go;
Are here below, in rhyme.

They showed me stunning photos
Before and after stuff
I couldnt get my checkbook
from my handbag fast enough!

I guarantee youll never see
The middle photos guys;
Between us girls, I may have hurled,
But Ill let you decide!

I dont recall them mentioning
The staples and the stitches;
The black and blue;
(On purse and you);
And underneath? it itches!

You swell like hell
Til you can’t tell;
Your nostril from your lip.
In gauze enough;
That standing up;
You’d pass for a Q-tip.

Food wont fit between your lips;
Youre nibbling puddinged rice;
And youve been told
That youll explode;
If you don’t keep it iced.

You pack your face with frozen peas
And wrap up in a scarf
You sleep upright
Your skins so tight;
And then, of course, you barf.

Yes, beauty’s all its cracked to be;
And trust me, we all crack!
So save those dimes
Cause in due time;
These wrinkles will be back! [comments] => 3 [counter] => 222 [topic] => 51 [informant] => softerware [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Event )

However true this is...you put it in a way that makes the reader laugh, LOL . The flow as with so many of your pieces is so smooth from beginning to end and holds your reader/'/s attention clean through. I loved it. And thank you for your kind words on my latest piece.

Wisdom on the tale of laughter. Educational as well.

Your last two lines said it all; a frivolous gesture....,.but ONLY ultimately. I had to wake up to a mess of a life for 60% of it,. though shrinking every day, percentage wise!)

Thank you for yet another lesson.

well first, you are a beautiful person SW,
a beautiful girl, vibrantly beautiful, it/'/s there
in your eyes and cheekbones, lot to work with there
is a lot to work with, there always was.

It is not in anyway fraudulent to want to keep youth alive and go under the knife - believe me, I have as a man thought about it, even at a young age.

But I don/'/t care. I just do not care. I just do not care about beauty. Fact is, it is only skin deep.
But I like how you look now, not that I know how you look now, but I/'/m sure that you look swell.

Me, I have not changed. I look young. I will die young
they all say that about true poets. They look young they die young, man oh man, they are a dime a dozen and still they never get laid - if you know what I mean.

Yes they are all fat very fat and bald. Most of them are.
I have a crooked nose, or, oh dear me, I have one eye
that is cockeyed, or I would never pardon my third eye brow, nor would I ever throw it down the sewer, since for me, I do view it as markedly importunate, always I have.
But I love women. I/'/m not sexist. I have 4 sisters, a wife, a daughter. I think you write very very well. You are gifted in mind and spirit.

And I/'/ll bet good to look at as well.

Peace!
