Teensy Tiny Itty Bitty Pimple

teensy tiny itty bitty pimple
barely perceptible to anyone but Sue
it was on her face, left cheek
almost no one else would have noticed
until she went to work on it

first she used a fingernail or two
then tweezers, Windex and other things
the teensy tiny itty bitty pimple became massive
covered a much larger area
it is rough, red, ruddy and sore looking now
Showing anger to anyone within the block

Will Sue leave the next pimple alone?
Absolutely not
It is the curse of being twelve
and thinking that everyone notices every teensy flaw
