CCCIX - The Mask

Magpie Tales has the above picture by Klaus Enrique Gerdes as a prompt.

I had a vision of one of those cucumber eye-masks, gone wrong.

 The Mask

A woman who longed for affection

Used vegetables, for her complexion.

The resultant tossed salad

Left her quite pallid

And added to her sense of rejection.

The men all thought her abhor-able

And, with manners truly deplorable,

They wouldn’t answer the phone

And she was left quite alone

But, for a rabbit, who thought her adorable.
