Funny Face
If you could choose any face you wanted, what would you pick?
If I could choose a different face, I’d start with lips all made of lace.
I’d trade my eyes for two blue marbles and make my eyebrows two big barbells.
I’d choose my ears from ribbons and bows. Then all I’d have left to pick is my nose.
