On the Couch with Mrs Persons

Mrs Persons is hypnotised
By sound like a headache
Strutting through my head

Gawping at glowing white angels
In tattooed makeup
Serving rainbow food
From a cloud kitchen
With a life resistant surface

Mrs Persons longs for virtual babies
Dancing in remote controlled nappies
With perma-smiles

Are you in debt?
Get more in debt
Buy a holiday with the spare debt
Read the small print
Don’t forget

But don’t get old
Age must be surgically enhanced
Botoxed
Dyed
Exercised
And slimmed away

Mrs Persons will live forever
On a diet of friendly bacteria
Low fat celery
Plus added vitamins
Her bodily functions
Will be replaced by colonic irrigation
One less job for the mortician
Should she loose the battle for eternal youth

I hope you don't maker this with your own person! I know a man that say: "We can know if a person take pleasure in his life only by looking her during a diner! Look at this one, he don't eat carrots don't take wine. This person can't be a good companion in life!"

Take a Good meal and i will send the true text to you in a audio file but in french, because it's all about "gastronomie française".

Bye take care of you and a kiss, of course!

Hi Sue! Keep forgetting to ring, anyway you've been writing some great stuff. Just had one published in hard-back by Forward Press - quite exciting. Just finished painting the bedroom ready to sell so hopefully I can spend some time over Aug writing before the manic of sept an another yr at uni beckons.

Take care, Laura
