You’re early today, her manager said are you okay, did you fall out of bed June told her boss, I’ve changed my routine My bloke drives me in as though I’m the Queen I’m able to drive but it saves time each day If he drives and I do my face on the way I see, her boss nodded and then simply said Why don't you just get up early instead June said, losing sleep doesn't worry my head When driving gives me one more hour in bed My brows and mascara were done on the road My lippy went on at the lights where we slowed That’s all well and good her manager said But I think you should get up early from bed For even a Jaguar, Bentley or Rolls Can‘t save a girl’s face from a thousand pot holes

Beautifully crafted Terry. I've got to the point where I try second guessing the ending of your poems before I get to the end. :) I was wrong in this case..I thought she had probably got her scarf caught in the window wipers as she was putting her lippy on..which is crazy anyway as wipers are outside of the car. :) Cheers - Gary

As I said to Milt, I knew the picture was a massive give-away but how could I not use it. Thanks, Gary. Terry

Got to be honest... the picture gave the game away too soon but it it was just SO right, I had to use it. Glad you still enjoyed. Terry
