             Transformation

From outback Australia off the well beaten track
Lived a hill-billy family in a tumbled down shack,
They finally saved enough money for a city vacation
Great their excitement on reaching their destination.

Arriving in the city where wondrous sights do abound
The hill-billy family with open mouths looked around,
Then into a big city hotel went the Father and son Pete
While Mum and two daughters waited out on the street.

As they stood in the foyer eyeing this big fancy hall
When two bright shiny doors opened up on the wall,
The boy looked in wonder, “what is it Dad,” he cried
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” his Father replied.

Then a grim ugly old woman with a sour looking face
Stepped up to the lift and pushed the button with haste,
The walls slid wide open and she stepped in as on cue
The doors shut behind her and she was hidden from view.

Then a row of lights flashed above, though no sign of a din
Moments later a trim lovely blonde stepped out from within,
The man and his son just stood & gaped at each other,
Then Dad said, “Son, quick go and get your mother.”

A big thank you to Bobby, Margherita, Ruth and Rick, I think the old fellow thought

that the lift was some magical place where you could change your appearance at the

press of a button. Wouldn't it be great if we could. Take care folks and have a great day.

Lindsay
