The Blobfish Woman
There was a woman who was once beautiful
The face of an angel
Hair as black as ebony
Eyes as blue as sapphires
The woman was a model
The photographer’s face was burnt wood
The woman’s heart was a rotten tomato
The photographer had a heart of gold
Between the two was a discrepancy
The woman was disgusted by the photographer’s appearance
She mocked the photographer
The photographer forgave her
Another day, the same way
The woman mocked the photographer again
The photographer warned her to stop
The woman ignored the warning
The next day
Perhaps a Monday
She woke up in the morning
She looked in the mirror
Horrified of her appearance, she screamed
A woman who was once beautiful is now cursed
Cursed with the face of a Blobfish
