Dry Skin With A Hint of Sarcasm

My skin gets so dry, it begins to bleed,

It kind of feels like sand paper, oh yes, indeed.

People tell me, "Lotion is the key,"

Well I must be dumb, oh golly- gee.

Lotion is the obvious answer, if it didn't burn,

If my skin falls off- well that would cause concern.

I've been to a doctor but doctors these days,

Gave bad advice and expect us to pay.

So I've bought lotion in a green bottle with a pump,

This lotion's good, smooth with no lumps.

So that's a good sign this lotion is right,

But it makes one cold in the cold autumn night.

I'll keep using Medicated Extra Strength Gold Bond,

I shall use it until every drop of it is gone.

It's slightly more expensive than Jergins or Curel,

I shall make it a shrine with candles and a mural.

Triple Action Relief for extra dry and itchy skin,

Is meant to moisturize, sooth and protect deep within.

Do not use on serious burns or animal bites,
While using this product, avoid contact with eyes.

Thus ends a poem, written by my self. I wrote it on November 17, 2002... I was but forteen years old.
