( Nb- I can assure the reader that this is in no way autobiographical- absolutely impossible) Excuse me, madam, you're too fat and Lady, you're too thin. Your hair's not blonde cascading curls you've dull and spotty skin. An hourglass figure is out of reach for somebody like you you look like you are pregnant and your butt needs toning, too. Foundation and some blusher could improve you, for a start then work on your eyeliner, though you'll find that's quite an art. Try these techniques, be careful though, you won't know when to stop then one day you will look like me- product of Photoshop.

Good tongue in cheek poem. Reminds me of a short one of mine, "I didn't say your girlfriend was fat or thin, I just said the two things I like about her best is her chin. James

Viv, you sound like we have similar humor. I heard a slightly dif version: Men have many faults, women only two, every thing they say and everything they do. Of course this can be reversed too.

That's a great two-liner, James, I may have to keep that in my 'cutting remark' armoury, as a reply to my missus' often used " There are two things I can't stand about you- everything you say and everything you do". Thanks for popping by. Regards, Viv

Thanks, for stopping by, Lindsay- I'll continue on my merry way with my face that looks like a Rottweiler licking vegemite off a cactus. Regards, Viv
