Eternal Frustration

Keep on trying
To fix the nose,
Finally got it!
But, oh, the clothes!

Drab and plain
With no decor,
Add some til you say
"No more!"

The eyes and hands,
They vex me so!
But still I try
So my skills grow.

Now the feet,
Deplorable things!
If only we learned
To grow wings!

Feel my patience
Wearing thin,
Drawing an eyelash
As fine as a pin.

That's it, I'm done! 
No more today!
My brain is fried,
It's time to go play!
