Notes About The Poem

From Rod Serling's episode in the "Twilight Zone"  titled- "Eye of the beholder" where everyone was considered beautiful with their pig-nose faces. They did multiple operations on a beautiful woman to try and make her look normal...It failed. But we all know, beauty comes from the heart.

Eye of the Beholder

she is so ugly 
the operation went wrong 
she's so beautiful

Ooooh! I remember that episode vividly. Watched it with my father. Seriously. Remember how short Rod Serling was. The cigarettes he chain-smoked were 1/2 as long as he was. ~ Miss Piggy
