Parts

Frankenstein, when you put me together
you surely must have been drinking,
otherwise I simply cannot imagine
what  in the world  you must have been thinking.

You gave me this cadaverous face

and a big, flat, ugly head.

Couldn't you have given me the face

of  Rudolph Valentino instead?

Look at these hands you sewed on!

Your work was careless and botchy.

Why could you not have given me

the hands of Liberace?

I hate these feet you gave me,

so big, clunky, and smelly.

Why, oh why didn't you give me

the graceful feet of Gene Kelly?

This voice I have, alas,

is as unlovely as my body.

How I wish you had given me

the larynx of Pavarotti.

The brain you put in my head

is impulsive and downright stupid.

You should have given me the brain

of Socrates or Einstein or Euclid.

People run screaming when they see me

and I feel that you, my creator, betrayed me,

for you were so driven, hasty, and careless

that you did a slipshod job when you made me. - Jeff Barnes
