Cosmetic enhancement is now all the rage
People want to stay young. They do not want to age
Our bodies are nipped, clipped, sucked, and they’re tucked
And from out of our wallets, the money is plucked!
Some parts you want flat, and some you want puffy
But sometimes the wrong parts are what you’d call fluffy
A facelift will yank back your skin. It’s a win!
You just might look young again with no triple chin!
Take care of the top as you plump up your lips
Take care of the bottom and shrink down your hips
What’s left in the middle will need some attention
And there are PRIVATE PARTS that I won’t even mention!
Loosen what’s tight, and tighten what’s loose
Have a few issues with your face or caboose?
Crinkles and wrinkles are cured with Botox
A glute lift or “HINEY HEFT” will fix your butt-ocks!
(Some rhymes are challenging!)
If they flap in the breeze just get your ears pinned
Then the flapping will cease when you’re out in the wind
Since they’re not protruding, you won’t feel so glum
But ears hold up glasses. You better leave some!
Get your nose fixed, so it’s half of its size
Rhinoplasty gives you a shape you can prize
You’ll enjoy your new honker while blowing and sneezing
With a cute little snootus that’s petite and quite pleasing!
Men aren’t immune to cosmetic enhancement
If it can lead their career to advancement
A hair transplant gives a noggin some locks
Fools men into thinking they’ll attract a hot fox!
There are endless afflictions that people will treat
Spider veins, laugh lines, and even crow’s feet
Cellulite dimples, and stretch marks galore
Varicose veins, age spots, and much more!
Liposuction, reduction, and implants, OH MY!
We’re fixing our tummies, our keisters, and thighs
Injections and creams and all of the rest
So we will not scream each time we’re undressed!
Get your eyelids done. You’ll be glad when you blink
You might get attention with a new sexy wink
A brow lift can leave you looking perplexed
Removing that wart on your nose should be next!
Breast augmentation is the medical term
It makes your chest bigger, and bouncy, and firm
In the real world, a BOOB JOB is how it is known
No longer homegrown, they are now silicone!
The cosmetic cost is the price of dissection
Transforming our bodies while seeking perfection
To not gaze in mirrors would be a lot cheaper
Keep both eyes shut tight, and don’t be a peeper!
If you want a new body, you will have to pay
To look better tomorrow than you do on this day
But maybe we carry our appearance too far
Perhaps we’re okay –
Just the way that we are!!!
