My Flaws


I'm too thin; I'm too fat,

With my dark circled eyes

In thick baggies I hide-

From those terse, judging eyes.

In Spring I've no fling-

Flirting's only a sting.

And Summer's a bummer-

That I share with no other.

But Fall is a ball-

That's no trouble at all.

What I'm wearing

Sparks no glaring-

And even covers my flaws!
