I can read your book like a face;
It’s only as deep as your skin.
You have more wrinkles than pages,
So when do you plan to begin?

I can read your book like a face.
I can hold it inside my eye.
You look more like Barbie than Mother Therese,
And Barbie was never alive.

I can read your book like a face.
My fingertips feel you are weak.
There’s hardly a word that is strong;
Your lips only utter a squeak.

So tell me; why should I read
An inconsequential book about you?
Go out and do something meaningful!
Write a story more marvelous to view.
