Cosmetic Surgery Haikus 10.0
(i) Surgery A La Orange
the price of failure
A heavy bill for duck lips
paying would be quackers
(ii) Surprised
another face lift
this one going to the tenth floor
grotesque expressions
(iii) Some Have horns
Botox comes from Cows
for anti wrinkle injections
Now grandma goes Moooo
(iv) choice
a new nose for me
I picked this one myself
It's now just perfect
(v) Oh for the Powder
Rhino-plasty billed
now constantly have the horn
charged just for charging
(vi) Bigger
Penis enlargement
it will become twice as big
twenty four inches
(vii) Smaller
Penis reduction
not exactly what I wanted
my new mangina
(viii) Celebrity Surgery
try lipo suction
Mick Jaggers uses own lips
an unhealthy diet
(ix) Tick Talk
shallow ugly minds
seek cosmetic surgery
time won't be beaten
(x) Don't Go Changing
grow old gracefully
the knife can never fix you
beauty not skin deep

Lot of truth here! I feel the same way exactly. Real beauty lives in the mind/heart of a person. It is so so sad to see people go to such great lengths to fix what they think is broken, and they often end up worse for it. We should indeed embrace the natural process of aging, it's part of being human, and being human is beautiful. Plus, no amount of surgery can fix how one feels on the inside, that's a different type of work altogether, and if that work was done, less people would turn to these methods because they'd fully accept their physical selves. I like all of these! Nicely crafted.

Each one gets a giggle. And then that final one brings a big such and a smile. Always winding it up with a solid landing. Filled with your generous heart and wisdom, my friend.
Super big hugs! :-)

This is a wonderful illustration facing down an ugly truth: no amount of external modification can cover up a corrupt soul. Grace in aging requires loving the beauty within and apportioning value from the heart.
Excellent haikus my dear, and a stunning ending note of morality <3
