It's not like I have a hump on my back.
If I did, that wouldn't be a problem.

I'd wear loose sweaters
and walk in the cool shade.

Or if my middle tooth went missing.
I know exactly what to do.

I'd stand on my head in the closet
where no one would notice.

Nor do my ears stick out too much.
I'd know how to make them mind.

I'd wrap them in scotch tape
and they'd learned to behave.

So it's not my hump or my tooth or my ears
that make me so mad, you ask. What can it be?

Right in front of your eyes, flat dab
in the middle of my face lives my problem

A pimple so red and angry that

even a sweater won't cover and
it hurts too much to stand on my head and
scotch tape makes everyone ask what's wrong

I wish I had a hump instead
