Five foot two with one eye green,
The other blue, weigh three fifteen,
My acne’s up and won the battle,
I’ve halitosis that smells like cattle,
I belch a lot and flatus too,
My hair’s all stringy and full of goo,
If truth be known, I do suspect,
That I’m not quite what some call perfect.
But my momma loves me,
So lordy be,
I’m hap, hap, happy,
I’m glad I’m me.

You can't hide good looking, with this lie. But the happiness looks good inside!
