Oh To Be Ugly And Thick Poem by Alan Duffield-lock

Oh to be ugly and thick,
to have been touched by the ugly stick,
so my look's would not fade away,
i would be ugly every day,

Oh to be thick and ugly,
not knowing that two and one make three,
so my brain doesn't gradually go,
and my reactions start getting slow,

Oh to be ugly and thick,
not to have a face so shiny and slick,
but warts, wrinkles and droopy eyes,
thin lips, long ears and a faceful of styes,

Oh to be thick and ugly,
i look in the mirror and i don't see me,
i remember less every day,
until everything just fades away.
