Behind the Mask

I'm getting complemented on my looks. 'Well, what has changed?' I think I hear you ask, For Tom Cruise I have never been mistook, it's ever since I've had to wear a mask. I wish I'd known this forty years ago, those nights out on the pull that came to naught, I would have got some cloth and learned to sew then who knows who or what I would have caught. Oh well, I strike a dashing handsome pose, with my mask on, I'm gorgeous, so it seems, without, red lines round ears and on my nose, Not fooling anyone, no stuff of dreams. That beauty is skin deep there is no doubt, it just means that God made me inside-out.

That’s funny, Viv: Now know why all those masked heroes, Lone Ranger, Zorro were such a hit with the women. SuZ

Lolol still crazy dear sir? :) I don't mind wearing a mask here. Could not live with myself knowing I could be making people ill just because I have no symptoms. Hello Viv :)
