The Face

I woke up this morning On the wrong side of the bed And looked in the mirror To face the living dead! When I opened my eyes To have another peak I swear I'd been replaced By a complete and utter freak! Hair all on end As though I'd had a shock Looking like a birds nest For an entire flock! Eyes all red and weary With dark circles and some bags Looking much worse Than an old street full of hags! My skin was gray and blotchy With teenage zits galore And I decided there and then “I'm leaving the house no more.” But after major surgery And a mud pack for my face I felt that I was semi fit To join the human race But a caution here is needed The effects are only tempo-rary For once again tomorrow morning I'll be looking rather scary!!
