What have you done, for you look like a perch? On Botox you should've done some research I won't sugarcoat it You look very bloated Your face is engorged, and some will besmirch Resembling a puffer with puckered lips I wanna pop them with my fingertips Dress yourself up in lace Get rid of that fish face Girl, you better get real and come to grips! Your booty sticks out. You've such a huge butt People laugh behind your back when you strut They giggle and they wink Some even say you stink Like a three-day old catch of Halibut Your teeth are threatening like a hungry shark Who'd bite me like a mad dog with a bark You're known as a stinker Caught, hook, line and sinker People point at you and call you a snark You are as fishy as a speckled trout So nice to people before it's found out It's nothing but a show Just a smoke screen you blow A tasteless fish thrown back, without a doubt You've earned the deserved name of big mouth bass A loose lip fish without an ounce of class Kicked out of many schools Cause they didn't like fools Shunned by all the Tropicals known as wrasse You've been compared to the swimmer called 'carp' A lesser species whose teeth are quite sharp A catch that's not a prize Most fishermen despise No angel fish when it plays on a harp Sometimes you resemble a red snapper Belting out words like a winded rapper Blah blah blah, on you jaw Irksome as a jackdaw You sound like the news anchor, Jake Tapper When you swim in the pool, you're called a whale Ya think that's due to the size of your tail? In candy you indulge It's the cause of your bulge You might want to try a diet of kale

It happens anyway, Jan. We're always having fingers pointed at us. You can't post what you will be using in your book.
