My Fickle Predicament

I have this little setback
I discovered it a while back 
I woke up one morning
and went into complete mourning 

Situated on my upper lip
Was a mole, I could not flip
I pulled it to the one side 
Then it  bounced back to the other side 

I should have listened to my mother’s warning 
But I realized it was too late the next morning 
My mole has disappeared  
And out of nowhere it reappeared 

It’s now visible on my bottom lip
Don’t think I should attempt another rip… 


Contest: Hole Mole-y!!

Very funny, Wilma. PLEASE don't try ripping out any moles. I'd like to keep you around for a while and I think it would be very dangerous. Knowing you, however, I think you are toying with us in a delightful way. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
