MISSING THE POINT

'Getting The Knack'  by  Trish
I'm trying to put mascara on, I just can't do it!
Lilly said 'Oh it's easy' it isn't! I knew, it, knew it! knew it!
My eyes are burning-stinging, one is watering all black,
I always have these problems, and they won't give my money back.

I asked the lovely lady, with 'cosmetics' printed on her pocket,
If it didn't work for me, could I return it as long as I had the docket?
"Well of course it'll work, why wouldn't it work?' she ever so quickly said,
I knew she hadn't really answered the question and my face went very red.

By the time I got my breath back, that is, at least enough to speak.
All that came out, as the word cosmetics bobbed about, was less than even a squeak.
Now to save enough money took for ever, until I could purchase my dream,
And all of  it was for nothing, honestly, sometimes life is so mean.
