I Woke Up One Morning

I woke up one morning and what did I see a face in the mirror which wasn't me, my nose was a ski slope as long as a piece of rope, staring back at me were scary bulging eyes big and round as pizza pies, a thick torso with arms heavy and plump looking strong enough to haul boxes at the dump, all balanced on two legs built like piano stools, strong enough to carry a couple of mules, a tummy as round as Santa's belly, each time I moved it swished like jelly, to my surprise the alarm rang loud and clear, making me jump up in dreaded fear, quickly I looked at my cracked mirror glad to discover my image was clearer, I no longer was a grotesque figure in a nightmare, thank goodness my looks are normal and fair. February 24, 2017. 19 lines. September 11, 2016 Body words used: face, nose, eyes, torso, arms, legs
