Monica sighed
|
Rolled on her side
|
She was so impressed that she just surrendered
|
|
|
She was moved by his wheels
|
She was just up from Wales
|
He was fuelled by her coals and he was coming to catch her
|
|
|
Lose the sense of time
|
Nail down the blinds
|
And in the succulent dark there's a sense of ending
|
|
|
Joking aside
|
The mechanical bride
|
Has fallen prey to the Great Pretender.
|
|
|
Let me just point out discreetly
|
Though you never learn
|
All those tawdry late night weepies
|
I could make you weep more cheaply
|
|
|
As the empty moon enamels
|
Monica with spoons and candles
|
Bangs around without the light on
|
Furniture to get it right on
|
|
|
Settled in a homely fishpool
|
Hung with little eels
|
Often thinks that travel widens
|
'Stay at home, the trout obliges'
|
|
|
Monica sighed
|
Rolled on to her side
|
She was so impressed that she just surrendered.
