Last night I was
your mysterious stranger
You saw me in Asda today like a lion
running scared from a ranger
My bloodshot eyes an ordnance survey map
of veins
Jumper blemished with various stale
Sunday food stainsLast night I danced and you
watched me with wonder
Today I peered over courgettes at you my
face black as thunder
The shame of you seeing me like a
frazzled warthog
As you wondered over my transformation
from glamour queen to rough dog
Why the benefit of
hindsight has eluded me once more
Had I had it - I never would have stepped
from my door!
Or at least awoke 2 hours earlier to
commence make up and hair
So I could of eyed you over the frozen
pizzas proud and fair
Instead of
demonically perring round aisles like a
possessed hunter
Desperately avoiding a second meeting and
you thinking "Ugh Munter!"
For coming face to face, nay twould be
better to face death and despair
Than to be seen hunched over a trolley
with unbrushed teeth and dodgy hair!
