If You Wear a Mask

If you wear a mask,
They won't know that you forgot to shave this morning.

If you wear a mask,
You won't have to worry about a dog licking your face.

If you wear a mask,
You will not fear a kiss from an over exuberant great Aunt.

If you wear a  mask,
Your Mother will not be able to wipe your face with a damp dish cloth.

If you wear a mask,
You can avoid a thick lip.

If you wear a mask,
You can wear any colour of lipstick.

If you wear a mask,
The fact you dribble a lot will not be noticeable.

If you wear a mask,
The size of your nose will not be a talking point.

If you wear a mask,
You stand a better chance of winning at cards.

Where I live, if you wear a mask you will keep your face warm! Tee hee. I liked this poem as I do your others. It is so clever and correct. I'm sure make- up companies took a hit, but knowing they are worth billions, I don't feel bad 4 them.

Poetry soup brings out the best in most I think. Not always sure where my poetry springs from. Sometimes seemingly out of nowhere, so suspect I have divine help especially when I get such nice comments back. If a subject comes to mind I feel drawn to the computer to bring it alive. Very best regards David in NZ
