UGLY

By repomen79

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

When I was a child, My momma said, I oughta sew a bag fer that babies head. Lookin like the butt end of a tanker truck, Childs gonna need a whole lotta luck. Something sure played em a nasty trick, Whupped em hard with the UGLY stick. Sometimes a pair of genes combine, To make a little boy that looks just fine. Other times it dont work quite so right, Best we keep this child out of sight. Cause ugly is ugly, and everybody knows, Ugly dont get better, it only grows. Now Me, I took it all to mean, I wouldn't need a costume on Halloween. Thought to myself, Well thats okay, Whole lot of ugly in the world today. Learned to love and laugh at the "pretty" crowd. My ugly was so beautiful it made me proud. Now folks look at me and say "how sad". He looks like an apple thats done gone bad. Witch end the doctor  hit, when you came? Musta been confusing, they look the same! Beauty has no patience to suffer fools, But ugly is more gracious cause UGLY RULES!!!!What do you say to the little girl at the zoo who offers you a bananna??????? teach you to loiter around the old neighborhood.
