Little Girl Manicure

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

                     tooth
               jagged, canine
        aching, decaying, eating
  denture, enamel, manicure, claw
       grabbing, clenching, filing, 
              etched, pinpoint
                       nail

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...

   Green grass, cut once or twice weekly
      A CEO might shave twice a day

   Edges and hedges trimmed nicely too
      Manicure, pedicure in seven days due 

   Rolling lawns with everything just so
      Like the ascot of the CEO

   If underneath lurks mud, ooze and slime ~
      Grounds for the perps to do time

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.
Listen to my advice so that my predicament isn't some thing you'll have to endure.
Don't be an idiotic moron like me, if you need your nails trimmed, get a manicure....

So I used incorrect terminology.
Are you saying that is not proper vocabulary?
I was not accustomed to such occupational nomenclature.
I used the term “nail job” instead of “manicure”.
My question was followed by cacophonous laughter.
“Typical man” was the verbal response that came after.
Well, in all of my journeys and trails,
I usually don’t have work done on my nails.

   I've never had a manicure
     and yet I'm still a man
   Though my fingernails are ugly
     you should see my tan

   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...
