What Annoys Me - Drastic Plastic Surgery For That Barbie Doll Look Lol

She was an aspiring starlet, a real cutie patootie Folks were in awe of her natural beauty She wanted to be a great Hollywood star But she’s taken the surgery much too far Her teeth have been fixed for a dazzling smile They are unnaturally white now they stand out a mile The Botox she had was to smooth her pale skin But she can’t move a muscle much to her chagrin! Her eyebrow lift gives her a startled expression The desire for perfection has become an obsession! She’s had Botox on wrinkles and fillers on lips Liposuction drained 2 pints of gunk from her hips In trying to obtain that perfect pink pout Its gone terribly wrong she now looks like a trout! Her breasts are augmented and they look quite obscene Like over inflated footballs seen in a top shelf magazine These two huge ‘flotation tanks’ are silicon filled They are lumpy and hard but her boyfriend is thrilled! But how did she pay for surgery which was so drastic... She opened her purse and put it on the plastic!! Date:05 11 17 Contest Name:Make me actually LOL 2 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nina Parmenter

LOL...I love it but it's so true that it makes me sad to think of the lost natural beauty. We women need to stand up for ourselves and reject the culture of Plastic Perfection.

Stand up for natural beauty or melt in the heat from the plastic surgery Carole:-( It's so so sad to see some of the disasters after these procedures - some poor people end up looking like the bride of Frankenstein:-( hugs jan xx

Jan, I tell you, this is a Master Piece. You chose a most relevant annoyance, and you deserve the placement you received for an outstanding poem. I tell you, it was humorous; but I felt sad afterwards. I guess I am most sad that 'we don't seem to like ourselves'; and go to extremes to make ourselves feel better, even if it makes us look worse. Good work, my friend. Curtis

Oh gosh Curtis I don't think any of my poems have ever been described as a masterpiece before!:-) i agree with you the poem is humourous but also tinged with sadness at the lengths some people will go to to defy the aging process:-) hugs jan xx

This is great, Jan... oh, so true!! I like the "2 pints of gunk line" especially!! I was kicking around some ideas on a similar theme (totally unrelated to the contest) so may have to dust that off at some point! Best of luck in the contest - I'm sure this will do well! Regards, John.

Never come to England then Going out on a Saturday night here that is all you will see Girls that look absolutely awful spray tans hardly any clothes botoxed faces more makeup and plastic you can shake a stick at. Who finds this attractive and why would you want to do this to yourself?? Beats me

This is so true to life, Jan! Love the lines about the "pout" rhyming with "trout"! A funny image indeed. Thanks for reading about my vacuum cleaner. I have one written about my microwave too. Keep us laughing, Jan! / M

Jan Allison
Date: 5/13/2017 6:04:00 PM

LOL my favourite lines are the final couplets which is where I started the idea for the poem:-) I will drop by and read the microwave poem when i can:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan , this is simply brilliant , your message is loud and clear , I am always telling people that all beauty and happiness comes from under the skin :)) big hugs for this one :))

Jan Allison
Date: 5/12/2017 5:10:00 PM

I agree totally that beauty is skin deep Niall - I just had a bit of fun for the contest and worked back from the final stanza which was how I wanted the poem to end:-) Not sure if it fits in with the what annoys me theme it probably saddens me more than annoys!:-( hugs Jan

Very creative, Jan, a “phase" which so many vain people go through, but where is the money coming from? Like you said the plastic :) good luck sweet lady
