"I'm stuck in the middle," said Sue.
"And I don't like the look of this stew.
I've no knife, spoon or fork,
And these guys want to talk.
And I'm dying to go to the loo!"

Forget about the romance of impressionist art..... let's just cut to the chase..... the discomfort of the model in the middle!! Delightful, Frances! Thank you for sharing. =D
Thanks everyone, I just wish I could write the serious, thoughtful poems that other Magpie followers (eg Yvonne) manage. But I'm just not clever enough.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

ReplyDeleteI think that you undersell yourself Frances. Your wit is clever and amusing and apt.
