Two pins and it's all fixed.
Zip up the back, stick some
Toilet paper in.
Don't rub, pat
The nuclear waste
Across your face
For a healthy glow
That
Is what we're here for
That
Is what we've come to do
Wasting minutes by the mirror.
Dress to impress you.
A pill a day
Keeps the worries away
So you don't have to worry
like we do.
