The Change

-The Change-

There's talk on the street
Somethings happened to me
I don't look the same
As I used to be

I've got the same name 
I've got the same face
But something about me
Has definitely changed

They try to figure it out
There's something about
On the tip of their tongue
There is no doubt

As they scratch their heads
Wondering just what it is
Either something has come 
Or something has left

As they wonder what's up
It's starting to bug
They can't take anymore
They've had enough

I just sit here and smile
As they try and figure it out
It's as plain as the day
Let them squirm for awhile

Cause what it is that I've changed
Are my eyebrows I shaved
I now change my expression
With mascara paint

I can now look surprised
As my eyebrows I rise
3 to 4 inches
Above my eyes

Or I can bring them down 
Into a uni-brow
Make me look angry
Give me a scowl

I lower the other 
While lifting it's brother
Which raises a question
One way or another

There's so much you can do
When your eyebrows you lose
If your afraid to participate
Start off  with one and not two

But I must warn you 
That if you do
There's only one expression you'll have
And that is one of confused

So as they keep on guessing
With insistent insisting 
I keep doing my best
To change my expression

Lol, as long as your eyebrows don't look like angry bird eyebrows you'll be fine! Very imaginative Mike; can just imagine the unibrow look and one eyebrow, lol! Enjoyed~Che :)
