soft-shoe steps to finesse,
showstoppers to perfect,
but first: cue the music!
we have breakfast to prepare.

Chas Hodges - d. September 22nd 2018
This is the last round, fellas;
one more on the joanna
then home. Still, I’ve got
some beer in the sideboard,
and a bit of brown bread.

The news today
wasn't all glum;
script rewritten

taken from there

Beyond froth and fizz,
feigned innocence
and foxy innuendo,

the fresh smirk that said

the Trans-Am is broke,
and in a flash of white lightning
you went up in smoke.

At the end of the galaxy
is evil, designer-draped,
stilted in unwise heels,
eyes dark with power,
Shiva in a ballgown,
Death-Next-Door.Read about Jacqueline Pearce here
