Oh to the sparkle ball

it calls for such beauty

Gown to the ground

rhinestones galore

Loveliness for sure

Prepare the face

to match the gown

Soon I'm wearing a frown

Pink sparkle eye shadow

became the enemy

My lid took offense

and prepared for defense

by developing a chalazion

---

Oh to the chalazion

so stubborn and at home

on my lid she sits

So proud and unwanted

Leaving me to determine

do I cause her great shock

and let the doc

carve her out

Or continue to bout

with all I must do

to prepare her for her

natural death...
