"School Picture Day is not a joke,"

Question

my mom made sure to say.
I told her that I'd try so hard
to look my best all day.

But when it came my turn to smile,
the camera played a trick;
It made my skin come out all green—
I looked like I was sick!

I asked to take another shot,
so I could keep my word;
But, sure enough, my eyes bugged out—
I looked just like Big Bird!

Sorry, Mom, I tried my best
to not look like a fool.
No matter what, my silly teeth
made me look like a mule.
