It all began with chewing gum,
Stuck behind his ears.
The implications grew profound
Before too many years.
He had one ear lobe pierced,
To be used for toothpick storing.
It appealed to intellectuals,
Not the dull and frankly boring.
Next the other ear lobe
Saw hangers on display.
Spare shirts and jackets hung there.
In a smart yet casual way.
And soon it all went viral,
Beyond his friends and peers.
A new trend swirled around the world
For Botox enhanced ears. © Copyright Philip Barton, June 22nd, 2025. All Rights Reserved
