Franks Psychiatry 5 #73: praying m

Frank Prem

Fra-ank
Fra-ank

 

she comes my way
the peroxide blonde bombshell
who is all red lipstick
ghost foundation
and a tottering
half-moccasin shuffle

 

last heard screaming

 

you’re a b_____d
you're nothing but
a b____y-f____n-b_____d

 

 

in the context of my failure
to adequately distribute her ration
of cheap menthol gaspers
every hour
on the hour

 

Fra-ank
can you help me Frank
I’ve got a praying mantis in my hair

 

well
that one’s a conversation stopper

 

and sure enough
there clings
a fourteen centimetre long
bronzed-copper beastie
looking well at home
in the outlandish
fine but brittle
coiff

they like me
they do

 

they look at me
all the time
in the smoking shed

 

they stare

 

but they like me

    Life has its fun moments despite the horror that it can be.

    • Frank Prem

      Very (strange) fun, GF. But, it'll do me, well enough.

      Frank,
      Was there a real praying mantis in her hair!

        Sure was, Laura. A green beauty on a blond bombshell.
