But I'll never make cheerleader,
never become a model.I'm tall
enough,but thick- not fat,not really.
Mon calls it "big bone structure".
Big enough so my grade school
nickname was Elsie the cow.
Big enough to affect my nose
It isn't humongous,but the bridge
has a major hump ,made even more
noticeable by the freckles playing
tag across it.Oh yea,and the more
than occasional zit taking up
residence just above it.I could use
braces,and my rat brown hair hangs
to my shoulder in straight ,thin strings.
Only my eyebrows,in a matching
shade of rodent,are thick,I tried
plucking them once,and ended up.
with two skinny question marks
delineating my glasses.That's right.
Along with everything else,I inherited.
astigmatism.My eyeglass frames are
cute enough ,but through the lenses,
my irises look like huge brown marbles.
Okay,truth is,I avoid the mirror
whenever possible ,It only serves
as affirmation of what I already know.
I'm homely as a horny toad.Barring
head to toe plastic surgery,a total
Lisa makeover,I will never be pretty.
