Famous Person's Face (Revision)

Mousier! Mousier! You there, mousier, with plume so proud.
Come closer so that I may get a better look. Good God, sir!
No man has yet warned me to duck when you about-face as such!
I mean no offence, but, good sir, are you aware of the massive growth on your bill?
My apologies. I simply had no idea that that's your actual nose
Sir, have you ever considered lopping off such a grossly gargantuan snout?
Perhaps wear something more minuscule to pull wandering eyes away from it, such as, France?
While your distinguished brow beneath your cap attempts to do this, if falls short of a remedy for your grotesque nostrils.
Your sharp mustache thrusts out like swords you so often cross with others.
Your eyes, vibrant yet sadly solemn.
Like the surface of the ocean at night seems a beautiful blue against a dark sky. But upon closer inspection it is revealed to be cold and ashen.
No matter how far you stretch that prideful smile across your worn face, your pain is always visible. Your struggle always as distinguishable as your incredible nose.

  1. This is a most unique response to your descriptive assignment. It does Cyrano de Bergerac full justice! Good job.
