Broken Face

Oh no, what a disaster 

look here girl, this plaster

will keep your eyeball in place

see there, your face-

looks almost normal.

Now let me thread your lips 

together using a needle and

some coloured string
mind you, this might sting
a little. Don't look so scared- 

you've nothing to dread dear

I'll have you looking like a fair

lady in no time. 

I'll fling together bits of wire

that will repair or at very least diguise

the cracks above your eyes

that scar beneath your left lid

bid, it farewell, 

I've got some stuff 

that will hide it, but it might swell 

a bit. And I've got some blu-tac 

to stick back your darling nose

it's split in half again, 

darn these facial woes!
