Plastic Surgery I Can Live With

by Maia Chung

Some women look in the mirror and see bodies they hate,

I must admit that I too suffer this fate.

Why can't a plastic surgeon invent a technique, to fix up my body and make what I seek?

I want a procedure for two more pair of arms, To hug my three children at the same time... when they are all harmed,

I need some more shoulders for three sets of heads,

That need comfort at the same time, when beset by dread.

For three sets of fears and for three sets of cries , I'll take three sets of ears...and handkerchief fingertips to wipe three sets of eyes.

Surgery must be useful, so moms can mother multiple kids,

Given more body parts, to deal immediately with many egos and ids.

If I were to go plastic I want three pairs of lips

To kiss them at one time, my gosh what a trip! (smile)

My skin would be programmed with analgesic inserts,

So I can soothe all three youngsters whenever they're hurt...

Make my legs run faster; so I can get to them quick, If we're separated and they become sick.

Plastic surgery for me would help me become a mother who can do all at the same time and not just somethings for some -

Because I have found that, your children don't wait... to need your care,

And most if not all times, they all need you at one time to be the solver and there...sigh
