No Prob

A poem in which each line’s ending is a truncated word


I’ve never had a pretty bod

And so I visited the doc’s

And asked him for a body mod

To make me fit the norm approx.


My genes were handed down from ma

Who, sadly, was no beauty ad,

I’d much prefer to look like pa:

Refined in spite of being trad.


The doc said, ‘I’ll refer you Ron,

And send you to the ‘fix-it’ lab.’

I hoped it wouldn’t be a con

And even dreamt I’d turn out fab.


The end result was hardly brill

As witnessed by the surgeon’s memo:

‘Couldn’t make him look a mill.

Best not use him as a demo!’
