Could it be a sty, this unsightly sore?
It looks kind of dry, this unsightly sore.
Now that I've opined, maybe I should find
Something to treat this unsightly sore.

Should I swab some lye on this unsightly sore?
Should I try to pry off this unsightly sore?
Or dab it with beer? Pour on Everclear?
Should I bite off this unsightly sore?

Alright, take bite—it tastes just like lemon pie.
In the sink I spit—don't drink—and then hold my hand high.

I'd had a good bite of this unsightly sore.
Gloves that are fur-lined then would hide this unsightly sore.
I go out to dine. . .after-dinner wine—
My hand throbs; I dunk it in the port.

Then I draw it near; with butter I smear.
Finally I plunge it in the torte.
