Little Girl Manicure

Pink enamel
bitten to
remnants of lacquer
not quite chipped
away.

A garden unattended 
is a woman abandoned


Grass growing unruly 
her hair untidy


Petals dried out 
manicure urgently needed 


Dry stems and twigs 
chapped lips and dry skin


Weeds vined and entwined around trees 
ingrown toenails and coarse heels on feet...

I love the way I slay 
every thing I encounter ..from this sexy outfit ,to my French tip manicure.I slay this green hair and this sexy makeup on my face.yes that's the way I slay 
I slay this and I slay that but as a matter of fact I 'll slay this relationship too so I don't think I'll ever need you ..

That's how I slay ..

I shoved my fingers into a paper shredder to trim my nails.
But it shredded my fingers and it hurt like hell.
People stare because I have stumps instead of fingers.
I had to give up my career of being a country singer.

   Please don't suggest a pedicure
     I don't need lovely toes
   Fishing knee-deep in the river
     they're apt to decompose

   So I eschew the 'hair salon'
     for ye old-fashioned barber shop
   Where my man Floyd still uses
     scissors, broom and mop

TIME - PATIENT   HUSBAND
 
 
Time and tide for no man are stopping
But time can slow fast when she’s shopping
 
A one-dress day is mighty long
And a two-dress day is even longer
A pair of shoes day is longest of all
 
Patience for hair and manicure must be strong
For  four perfume testers  even stronger
New earrings  - strongest of all

And my time-field is suffering cropping
As the time-barometer continues dropping...
