To the Bone

If beauty is only skin deep,
and ugly is to the bone.

I was never pretty 
even though my hair 
has grown.

You can bet 
when I get wet,
some fun is about 
to be had.

For a change of taste 
I’m in your face,
and the flavor 
is not that bad.

When I smell like fish
and taste like chicken, 
people try to eat it all.

They hear a soft voice 
they have no choice 
they come running
when I call.

There is no doubt 
when you try it out, 
You will have 
a whole lot of fun.

It’s like that
bag of potato chips, 
you’re going to eat
more than one.
