Gloria

Gloria was perfect

In lots of little ways.

She had at least a million friends

And always got straight A’s.

I think she was the cutest girl

That I have ever met;

The apple of her mother’s eye

And every teacher’s pet.

But then one day it happened.

The unthinkable, to wit:

Gloria the Perfect

Got a king-sized zit!

Big and red and puffy,

It covered half her brow.

Funny thing about it, though—

I like her better now.
