There was an old lady named Jerry O'Leene
She'd lost her beauty when she was a only a teen
But she absorbed a message on the television line
That if she just got skinny she could go back in time
And be the young beauty whe was of yore,
No more old, no more bore.
One day on QVC they had
a trampoline that was not bad,
Order it she did on her card of Discovery
And waited for its promised ten-day delivery.
When the trampoline got there she nearly cried,
"I'm gonna be so happy!" - She almost died
And for weeks and weeks Jerry jumped on that thing
Until she got as skinny as a piece of string.
She was so happy and exhilerated
On the internet she found a man whom she dated.
She forgot to notice her flesh hanging down
For old ladies do that when they lose too many pounds.
Undaunted, though, she looked in her mirror
Put on her lipstick and fluffed out her hair, ere
She died it an out-of-a box red
Made her pale face look almost dead.
Excited to meet him she flew out of the door
Looking all the while like an Elm Street XX,
Her date - tho no prize looked at Jerry and careened
He said as he flew - "You look like a Tramp, Oleene.
And so it goes with the human race.
Everyone wants another pretty face.
