Beauty's Mark

So tell me dear, what have you there
above your pouty lip?
I can do little more than stare
where tempered words oft slip.

With roundish humor, there it sits
a black spot on a stage-
a dancing actress camping glitz
attention- all the rage.

The charm of such a simple mark
so fortunately placed,
will conjure up a coy remark
how loveliness is graced.




(for the Holy MOLE-y!! contest)
