Ugly

Over the years 
it's plain to see
I've lost most things 
but my ugly

Most folks I know
would agree 
Ugly has always
looked good on me

Ain't no sense 
trying to figure out
How all this ugly
came to come about

Or how it is
the only thing
That has ever really
stuck with me

Lost most my mind
and all my shape
Not enough math Pi
and too much cake

The hardest thing
that is to fake
Is the face of ugly
I face every day

I agree with Hannah and especially Julie; beauty or handsomeness isn't always on the outside but on the inside…Good one Mike!~Che :)
