The Pimple
By Carolyn Argyle
Illustrated by Neal Stepp
He had a pimple
The size of a crumb
Upon his nose.
He left it alone
Hoping it would go
Instead it grows.
Now there's a pimple
The size of a thumb
Upon his nose.
He rubbed on creams
Hoping it would go
Instead it grows.
Now there's a pimple
The size of a plum
Upon his nose.
He tried to pop it
Hoping it would go
Instead it grows.
Now there's a pimple
The size of a drum
Upon his nose.
How does he see or
Look where he's going
With a pimple the size
Of a drum on his nose?
And it still grows-
Nobody knows.
