Beauty Skin Deep

A face lift here and a tummy tuck there
Pearly white implants and bionic gold hair
A nose job that rocks
Once a hound now a fox
Beauty skin deep just got you a billionaire

...or lost you a billion! Your second line made me laugh outloud. I lived in a very wealthy part of Ct. and your poem describes most of my old community. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" They are all wondering as they fall asleep each night. WONDERFUL poem. "Nothing tucked or replaced here" said the poor poet. :)

I see your point. I've a cousin who smiles all the time. She's not happy, it's just that she had so much plastic surgery she can't not smile! Happy New Year!

As they say it isn't how you feel, it's how you look that counts, and you look marvelous!
