This is a charming little poem. It's very well done, the way the images of imperfection and infirmity escalate over the course of the poem, right up to that great punch line at the end. It's funny and touching at the same time. I think my favorite stanza is the second one: the incongruity is so perfectly distilled there . . .
I like
