The Stick Insect

My sister is very thin
In fact she’s a stick insect
Straight up and down
Viewed from any aspect
If she didn’t wear glasses
Before embracing
No one would know
Which way she was facing

A bit cruel, but funny. You never know, your sister could turn out to be a real stunner in a few years!
