I'Ll Give It To You Straight

Holy Mole-y, what’s that ball resting on your nose? If I were a circus clown, I’d want one of those! And the other twelve I see- all red bulbous spots - May I grab my marker and play “Connect the Dots?” You are too afraid to get them burned off, you say? Yet you’re brave enough to wear them to work each day?? And you say your friends respect what’s behind your face. I admit, you’ve taken what life dished out with grace! But your friends don’t help. . . I’ll give it to you straight! (Since you want to know why you just can’t get a date!) People have been nice to you. They’re just using tact. Kids say “Holy Mole-y,” though, right behind your back! HOLY is not just with H, But with “W.” (W)HOL(L)Y Mole-y is the sad fact I’m talking to! An Oldie for Skat's Current Slam contest

LOL This is hilarious, Andrea. If you want to play connect the dots, check out the moles on singer Jason Mraz's face. (I think he's a handsome, talented guy.) I don't think anyone could take offense to this. So funny and a winner for sure! Love, Carolyn
