not a yak but a sneetch



i've looked in the mirror again and again
happy to report i'm feeling no pain

i'm still ugly, swollen, and icky
staying upbeat is getting real tricky

the doctor said a week, maybe two
ice and elevation all i can do

if i could but wear to the party a costume
maybe a geisha! or a hat with a plume!

perhaps goldie hawn, some collagen and her lips
who am i kidding, i could never be her with these hips

i told everyone i looked just like a yak
from dr seuss's great mind, but i take that back

it's not a yak i resemble, but a sneetch
with his protruding snout or overgrown beak

one friend said with my humor & personality
i'd be just fine at our christmas party

i stared, politely attempted a grin
but honestly what i was thinking was a sin

no pictures i'll share, no pictures you'll see
but if you see a sneetch, please think of me

perhaps this same thing happened to dr seuss
thus he created the bamboozles, sneetches, and snoots.
