An Aging Actress
To be an aging actress
Must be stressful and a drag.
The world is watching as you age
And neck and jowls sag.
You either disappear from view
Or wait for folks to cluck,
But there's another choice for those
Who just don't have the pluck.
It's visiting the surgeon
For some facial pulls and tugs,
But sometimes the result
Won't garner compliments, just ughs!
It's sad to see an actress
Who, in trying to erase
The wrinkles that occur, instead
Wreaks havoc on her face.
