I wrote this poem when I was in highschool. I don't really know why, it just sort of came to me one day. It kinda means that you shouldn't take people for how they look, because they could be completely different, and you never know what may have happened to them in their lives before you happened to cross their path. Think about it, and enjoy.
Skar-Phace-Grrl
The Skar-Phace-Grrl was not always like this,
She used to have a face that was perfect, not a miss.
She was amzingly beautiful, not a flaw to be seen,
But bad things can happen to good people you see.
From what I've heard, it happened like this,
With any luck nothing will be missed.
The day started normal for this grrl with the hair,
Though she was lying in bed with nothing on, she was bare
This may seem strange to you who are kept in,
But this is what many people have slept in.
She got up, got dressed in her most trendy clothes,
Then spent an hour on her beautiful hair 'til it flowed.
She went out with some friends, and shopped at the mall,
And when she got home she was about ready to fall.
Now, this next part might seem odd, or maybe just queer,
But I must assure you, you've got nothing to fear,
For living next to this grrl, there was a very odd man,
An odd little man with an odd little plan.
He had saved up his money, saved up for years,
To buy a nuclear weapon to make eeryone fear.
Now, he had all the money he need to buy it,
So the government made plans to make him kick the bucket (forced rhyme).
The first plan was to lay land mines in the fog,
But that just killed all te neighbourhood dogs.
The next was to shoot him as they drove past,
But then they found out he had bullet-proof glass.
The last plan was to use a suicidal mouse,
The only problem was that it went in the wrong house.
Before the government knew it the mouse had exploded,
Skar-Phace-Grrl's clothes had just been folded.
The house exploded, and the clothes went astray,
Skar-Phace-Grrl was almost blown away.
She was knocked around and tossed and turned,
And somewhere there was a fire and her face was burned.
This story is sad, but has brought her great fame,
But now you're all saying, "Hey, what's her real name?"
The honest to God's truth, her name was Pearl,
But now she's only known as Skar-Phace-Grrl.
And as for the old man, you now wish to ask,
his plan to create fear is now in the past.
