Not Blessed With Eyes Of Blue
I stand a while and ponder, my tummy sticking out
my heels a little cracked, my thighs a little stout
my shoulders slightly slouched
my eyes a little pouched
my nails could use a buff
my belly-button’s filled with fluff
my profile lacks the pride
that claims a better side
not elegantly tailored with snug and perfect fit
not eloquent in speech nor known for comedic wit
not filled with derring-do
not blessed with eyes of blue
all in all I’m quite a sight
but that’s okay, it’s quite alright
for my daughters balance the scales you see
by thankfully looking not even the tiniest bit like me.
