Strips paint
Yes, I, too, used to have a Friday Face
and it was always in a happy place
on my face as you would expect.
but it fell
as I fell from grace
no longer a Friday Face
just a face
in the crowd
not even allowed to smile.
To grin?
no
already been
seen too much grinning
sinning
winning
*** all,
the fall
the fell
tensing as well,
I'm getting a Pug
a plug ugly Pug
if only to make me look
more attractive.
I hold my breath and count to ten, and sometimes, when I'm really bored, I hold my breath and do it again.
