Making Up

I am playing with mommy’s make up While she’s tired and putting her feet up I’m supposed to be having rest too But face painting’s a fun thing to do. Mommy placed the curlers in my hair She tells me it gives me added flair So I’m painting my face, as mom does Hoping it makes her happy heart buzz. My hair will become curly whirly And my face decidedly girly With my lips covered in red lipstick Blusher on my cheeks, and green eyelids. Mommy is bound to have a surprise When she wakes up and opens her eyes I'm sure she'll say that I look charming Don't know what she means by self harming.
