Yesterday’s Muse

Neville

Yesterday’s Muse

 

She hides

and so well

behind

a makeshift

façade

of feigned

innocence,

hippy chick

tie dyed tops

and her

collection of

old torn

Victorian

lace ..

She lives in

some

kind of

smoke free,

and sterile

world of

gold gilded

fantasies ..

Yet she sucks

on Marlboro

lights

and tells lies ..

The kind

that only

a spoilt child

or psychopath

might tell

on a bad hair

day ..

She cries a lot

too at

the drop of

a hat ..

She still goes

to church on

Sundays tho’ ..

Between

giving head,

that is

and making

bread,

that is

for old ladies ..

Which

just about

sums up

yesterdays

muse

and so perfectly ..

    I might swoon - giving head? Don't answer that. i.e. don't explain it to me in public! lol.
    Fido says I should stick to making bread myself. lol.
    So.... church is not just made up of little old ladies. 😁

                  She sounds a bit like a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, as any good muse should be. You broaden my horizons my friend, and for that I have to thank you.

                  • Neville



                    Thank you so much my friend .. what welcome words you have left here for me again .. Neville
