It's the Wrong Way Round

Plastic surgeons think themselves Gods As they try to turn back the clock I think plastic surgery is nonsense Trying to hold back the ravages of time By nipping and tucking And implanting and enhancing It is an exercise in futility People who have face lifts Don’t look younger Just permanently surprised The medical profession By trying to preserve aging flesh Is approaching the problem From the wrong direction Would it not be better? To transplant the brain Of a mature man or woman Into the body of a vacuous teenager Then you could have fabulous sex Followed by great conversation
