My Avatar
My avatar can’t get me far
‘Cause she’s got just one eye.
Attempts to change her don’t work out,
No matter how I try.
I chose her ‘cause the photo is
A picture that I like;
But since she’s been uploaded
Seems the site has been on strike.
Her face is fine up on my screen
But in the image shrunken,
She looks as if she’s lost an eye
Or maybe even drunken.
I’ve tried to choose another pic
That will not have such flaws;
But “System Error’s” what I get
And I don’t know the cause.
So when you see my avatar
Reserve what you are thinking;
Imagine me in impish mode
‘Cause then I might be winking!
