Ode to the Plastic Surgeon
December 28th, 2008 at 8:50 am (Humourous)
It’s all been a bit serious and thoughtful for the last few days so it’s time now for another poem in a lighter vein.
This was originally inspired by watching an acquaintance of mine succumb to an aesthetic surgery addiction. First it was just going to be a little liposuction here, then it was a rather more dramatic piece of bone surgery there. Each treatment was followed by her critical examination of some other part that wasn’t “right” and I could see her spending her entire savings in pursuit of ever more unnecessary perfection.
