PRISCILLA

Wee Priscilla
caterpillar
feeling so contrary;
didn't mind
her fat behind
but hated being hairy.
What girl does
enjoy the fuzz
that sprouts from head to heel?
Priscilla thought
removal ought
to lift her sex appeal.
She bought a tube
of sticky goob
to rub on every day;
the label said
that if she did
the hair would go away.
She understood
that baldness would
display her figure better;
but now she's bald
she feels the cold
and has to wear a sweater.
