One On the Chin
My sister hasn’t many.
My brother has just three.
A friend of mine has none,
at least none I can see!
Another friend of mine -poor thing -
feigned that she was sick.
A boy at school had said
he would not touch her with a stick.
She stayed home from school last week
crying on her bed.
One girl that uses make-up well
just covers hers instead.
I got my little trick from her.
Make-up everywhere
is rubbed into my face. My forehead’s
covered by my hair.
Great reason to wear bangs, you know!
Those zits keep popping in!
And look - a big red new one's here!
I've got one on the chin!

Remembering the good old high school days before Acutane was invented!
