'Comet' - the Finest Freckle-Remover On the Planet

Joni-Jo Kacino was an ornery blue-eyed redhead, with freckles covering everything that showed - outside her clothes! Her lips were kinda puffy...her ears were diff’rent lengths...and almost in the center was her heavily speckled nose! Nonetheless the two of us became the best of friends, and I remember telling her, “Joni-Jo…some day... I’ll come up with something that - if used the proper way- will gradually make a person’s freckles literally - fade away!” Experimenting constantly for months - with me, of course - plagued, like her, with freckles - I would pray with every test That, after risking countless ways - and nursing many scars...I’d zero in, at last, on what technique had worked the best. I’d noticed that my mother’s choice for getting rid of stains...which was to me what I believed a freckle actually was... Was, in fact, a product that you’ll not believe would work...but if you check my nose out, friend...I’ll show you proof -- it does! Mother’s chosen cleanser was a product know as -“Comet”! A pale green powdered substance that removes most any stain! A tiny bit abrasive, I’ll confess...there was some bleeding...but those of us now freckle-free will swear...it’s worth the pain!
