Overdone

I guess it’s good to look unique Or have a special glow, But when one’s face makes her a freak, It’s something she should know. Like Michael Jackson in his prime Who couldn’t see the truth, The “tanning mom” has wasted time To get back to her youth. Forget about her kid for now – The way that mom appears Is worse than movies that allow The ghouls that conjure fears. Why someone’d do herself such harm Is way beyond my ken, Although such models of alarm Come forward now and then. A little tan can add allure But when one tips the scale, The mirror should reveal for sure It’s better to be pale!

That woman went far beyond rediculous. And if her child has any repercussions from it she could be facing charges. But back to the poem. It was well written and addressed the issue very well. Thanks for sharing. Rockman
