The Secretary
|
Said the prices vary
|
To cast in one’s image
|
So I made the pilgrimage
|
|
She told me a story
|
About the Model Lady
|
Whose features were subtle
|
She wanted her own model
|
|
The story continued
|
The Secretary enthused
|
How making the Model’s model
|
Gave her staff trouble:
|
|
“You see, she had no features
|
Her face was smooth and clear
|
So it was very difficult
|
To sculpt an accurate result”
|
|
“But that is why we
|
Think some people have Beauty”
|
Said the Secretary
|
“At least this is my theory”
|
|
“Because they are featureless
|
Anyway, it caused us some stress
|
And we charged her according
|
To the time that was put in”
|
|
Then I wandered the warehouse
|
Among hundreds of models
|
And fiberglass aroma
|
Out there in Pacoima
|
