I Love Myself

I love myself
And you should love me, too,
For I am a beauty queen
On the planet Ru.

My bazooms are real-
A fun size Double D:
My olive highlights natural-
There's nothing fake about me.

My eighteen eyes are blue-
My tentacles, long and lean.
My skin is perfectly tanned
A shade you Earthlings call grass green.

My mother says I'm lovelier 
Than a twinklin' star
And that, when it comes to beauty,
I have set the Ruan bar!

Size D? Oh my! This was so much fun, Cherie. I have a rather disturbing image of this 18-eyed creature in my head now. I bet you truly are lovelier "than a twinklin' star." Enjoyed this poem!! Love from a sci-fi fan, Carolyn
