The Joker

We wished for a Cheshire Cat reprise; leave the grin then fade yourself away,
All lipstick and teeth in this uneasy alliance; an ear to ear facsimile on display.
Even at her age the wrinkles stood no chance; gravity denied by force of will,
Could have led every rat out of Hamelin had I harvested cheese from her grill.
There were plenty of life for our party, but this bombed blondeshell was a dud,
You ever find yourself wondering who could shove the stick so far in her mud?

Now I've heard you can turn a frown upside down, but what about the wearer?
Mind telling me at what point cosmetics go from being enhancement to terror?
Dolled up like a streetwalker, porcupine social skills; even cacti run and hide,
Sucked supper through a straw 'cause her face can't bend to let solids inside.
As we're having fun someone ought to tell her; I don't think she got the joke,
Then again, we might want to reconsider; what would we do if her face broke?

Killjoy is a relative term; have to be sure if there was a thrill before it is gone,
Deck stacked against anyone brave enough to ask her what downer she's on.
Holy conundrum, Batman, I just realized the irony of the situation; it's a trap!
Only one as dastardly as the Joker could let this information fall into our lap!
The smile serves as a lure; then once you're charmed her real evil is sprung,
If her bark is as bad as her bite, just imagine what she does with her tongue.
