I Used to Have Eyebrows

I used to have eyebrows, I swear I did;
I had ‘em as a teen, I had ‘em as a kid.
And yet today when I look in a mirror,
No eyebrows there, so no eyebrows here.

I seem to recall my eyebrow-less state
Is an innovation of recent date.
One summer vacation we rented a place
That came with a gas grille, without instructions.
As I tried to light it I stuck my face
Down near the pilot, a brilliant deduction.

When I finally managed to get the thing started,
It did so with a blast and my eyebrows departed.
