Fatal Beauty

I'm so doggone ugly, I look like a faded roach; If I were a pile of roadkill, The buzzards wouldn't approach! Oh sweet mirror on the wall, Why stab me in the back? You tell me that I'm beautiful, Then fall to the floor and crack! I went to a local photographer, Here's something you won't believe, He took one look at this ugly mug, And paid me just to leave! I can't go to the chicken coop, To gather a single egg; Those hens won't let me enter, Unless I grovel and beg! I never committed a crime, Though my picture's on the wall; Ugliness is a criminal act, It's certainly against the law! A cop pulled me over, I asked what I did wrong; He took one look at this sourpuss, And said..."Nuthin', please go home!" When I walk by flower beds, The petals begin to wilt; Every time I play pinball, The game automatically tilts! I married an ugly woman, Someone uglier than me; We bought ourselves an ugly dog, Now we're as happy as can be!

Very humorous, indeed! I loved it, and my only critique is that I don't think stanza 4 really fits and the last two lines in stanza 7 also don't seem to relate. Other than that, a very enjoyable read! :)

This makes me feel better. When I was a kid, they used to rub me with steak gravy, so the dog would play with me. I remember running down the street with the trash. I asked the garbage man if I was too late and he said no, jump in. Always fun to read your work. Vince
