B U R L E S Q U E

Barely old enough to be in this place
Urban-savvy, aware, not overly friendly
Reasonably pretty, ravishing in some ways
Life has given her hard choices
Enthusiastic in the chorus line
She would love to be the headliner
Queen Dee would have much to say about this
Understudies here have horrible accidents
Expect no one to be honest about this

I can picture her so clearly Caren, especially love her wating to be the headline act but 'queen Dee' gets the top spot and she needs to take care. hugs jan xx
