Unrealistic Expectations

Unrealistic Expectations 

By Elton Camp

For problems, instant solutions would be great
Whether a big nose, ugly mouth or maybe weight
But is cosmetic surgery the answer to all our woes
So as to improve us from our heads to our toes?

I agree it would be great to look like a movie star
But even the best modern doctor can’t go that far
So it’s off to the cosmetic surgeon to get action
And hope not to end up ugly as Michael Jackson
