Repost Menage memorandum She wakes, the bride of Frankenstein Retires to her bathroom shrine Where she showers and towels her hair And plucks her brows to nearly bare. She creams her face a mystic sheen The pallor of an English queen. Depilator's her hairy legs And paints her eyes like Easter eggs. She manicures her hands and toes A little powder on her nose A pinch of cheek to whisper pink Hangs earrings that would rouse a shrink. She changes cloths a dozen times Each time each look she pantomimes. And challenges the mirrored wall To show the fairest of them all? Startles me with a piercing "HEY," Good God, "I look like hell today." [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 08-03-2000).] |

Seymour, that's why I always follow the rule of thumb ~ "Less is More" ~ funny stuff, fella. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I paint my lips a velvet green and die my hair jet black and creamy white colors my cheeks with blotches of haystack (that's a color I just made up cause it rhymes with black) Cute poem Sy...made me smile for sure...I'm with Claire on the less is more theory, not the clothes but the rest...he he.. |

Menage a demideux, Resembling Ogden Nash is a nice compliment. Haven't read any french since school and I'd hate to tell you how long ago that was. Thank you for the nice comment. Menage#1, Just keep doing what you doing. |
