Stay Away From Botox!

~

By Rowan Finley Published 9 months ago Updated 9 months ago 1 min read

Stay away from botox!

The advertisements were sneaky as a slick fox.

They charged me astronomical prices,

now, it looks like my lips have multiple splices!

I go out in public and people ask me if I need ice,

you know something to “help the swelling,” or they ask, “what will suffice?”

I tell them it was a very bad botox disaster,

that I couldn’t get out, or leave any faster.

Don’t go to the botox place, through the ally, around the corner,

I tried to stop the next customer, yes, I tried to warn her,

but she wanted lips,

the size of ships!

Well, that’s what she got,

and now, you can see in the photo above, her lot!

For Fun

    This is hilarious and so cleverly written.

    Haha, I feel like this needs to be narrated by a wise neighbor in curlers, shaking her head like, “I told ya so, honey!”
