Today's Beauty


 

When did this become the object of desire?

Cat eyes, duck lips, a nub of a nose 

G cups, rock cheeks, the look to acquire 

Snow capped teeth to blind as they pose

The Natasha Fatale of Bullwinkle fame

Searching for originality 

All looking the same

They lack personality 

So must compensate the void 

By cutting and filling such pliable flesh

 Frankenstein's monster, a thing to be toyed

Liposuction the fat, mend holes with fine mesh

Insert bags of saline, the bigger the better 

Saw toe bones and rib cage, fill in the butt

A size zero Versace pink and white sweater 

Eat rice cakes and air to maintain no gut

I'm guessing it began with one jester's joke

A natural beauty morphed into a clown

All by a comical cartoon of one simple poke

The standard now set, the ideal upside-down
