I'Ll Give It To You Straight
Holy Mole-y, what’s that ball
resting on your nose?
If I were a circus clown,
I’d want one of those!
And the other twelve I see-
all red bulbous spots -
May I grab my marker and
play “Connect the Dots?”
You are too afraid to get
them burned off, you say?
Yet you’re brave enough to wear
them to work each day??
And you say your friends respect
what’s behind your face.
I admit, you’ve taken what
life dished out with grace!
But your friends don’t help. . . I’ll
give it to you straight!
(Since you want to know why you
just can’t get a date!)
People have been nice to you.
They’re just using tact.
Kids say “Holy Mole-y,” though,
right behind your back!
HOLY is not just with H,
But with “W.”
(W)HOL(L)Y Mole-y is the sad
fact I’m talking to!
