Sunday Muse - No Surprise

 

This lipstick is dry and crackled 

Special blend no longer in stores 

Been wearing days and days and days 


Get off my back I see you there 

Lurking and not saying a word 

Take off that little smirk of yours 


Go away go away be gone

I'll not be your mail order bride.

    The old problem of lipstick shades no longer sold. Many a lady can relate to that Jim. This poem made me smile. Have a great weekend my friend.

    But... what if I *am* your little mail order bride! What then? Wait, OK, no, I'm not, fine.

    Sounds like the lurker/stalker has been following her for awhile. I wish she's tell her brothers, cousins, and/or uncles to come and give him the message to buzz off properly.

    Love your play of humour, Dr Jim. You have that uncanny ability to make it in strong terms but in fact clearly the witty nature remains! Great!

    The cracked lipstick really adds to your poem.

    Creepy. Hope the speaker has a way to get away.

    The cracked lipstick sets the tone and shades come and go..much like suitors.

    Oh the lipstick, it stays through all the suitors who don't suit. Hope there is escape from the stalker.

    Smirking and lurking - definitely to be avoided!
