Wonder Lotion

Wonder Lotion

written by: Joan McNerney

This can erase years from your face,
cover blemishes, sun spots, crow’s feet.
You will glow in the dark capturing
hearts, especially those of rich men.

Now you can procure a position of
prominence with a prestige company.
You are to be admired by all, heads
turning whenever you enter a room.

Coarse dry skin can become
divine, silkier than angel wings.
The alluring scent of this balm
enraptures legions of devotees.

Old friends will stare at a new you.
Baffled, they ask if you had surgery.
With a smug but unwrinkled smile,
you point to your precious ointment.

Decades of time, grime and slime
magically erased. See dramatic
transformation as you stand beguiled
by glowing beauty in your mirror.

Envision flying down boulevards
patronizing haute fashion shops, driven
by limos…all this and more now from
Miracle Creme at an amazingly low price.
