Conversation with Self Part One

Who am I?
Strident, independent thinker?
Or posturing stinker?
- Who knows, and,
Quite frankly,
Who cares?
However, I do detect
The gentle waft of
Eau de Egoiste

Am I beautiful?
Am I desirable?
- Darling, you and subtle lighting were made for each other,
But, remember,
Beauty is only a light switch away.

Where am I going?
Foraging in Sainsburys?
Or demon-slaying in Hades?
- Get real,
Hades is so passé,
And trolley rage soooo now.

Where do I belong in this world?
Where is my place?
- I’m glad you asked me that.
The answer may lie
In the fact
That you are,
Once again,
Too pissed to find your way home.

What is the answer?
What is the meaning of life?
- Margueritas
Marie Claire.
Marmite.

Blonde or brunette today?
Varnish brown or pink?
- Judging by the vacant expression, Blonde. Pink.
Jeez, you are one dizzy bint.

Dear Walrus

Hmmmm.....interesting piece. Do you happen to have any direct experience of schizophrenia?

Hi Christina,

Love the poem, it says a lot about us, and we blokes are as bad as you women; we just won't admit it. LOL at your two comments, too.

Loved the two comments after the poem - in fact they are integral to the piece. Smart move. More conversations please!

Roger, was intrigued by your comment 'it says a lot about us, and we blokes are as bad as you women'. Please explain.

Walrus Intrigued.


Fearless, I appreciate your completely unbiased comments.

Yours truly

Sweetie, you are really too kind. Your life is a rich tapestry as it is, without the ridiculous rantings of a Wayward Walrus.

Just that we too are dizzy bints, Chris, but find it hard to face up to it. In fact, I'd rather you didn't mention that I said so....I might get beaten up! Whatever, a great poem...not 'ridiculous ranting' at all.

Anyway, now I've answered your question, why Walrus? Are you fat with big teeth and a funny walk?

Roger's right, we are dizzy bints, who wax bikini lines on teddy bears.....

.....a topic not covered in 'Elle', 'Practical Teddy Care' or 'Leggy LadyBoy' magazines

Thank you for the enlightenment. I had not idea and, don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

As to 'Walrus', wide and warty spring to mind.


Fearless,

You are a brave man waxing teddy bears' bikini lines. However, I feel your research is limited.

Yes, my research is limited. Please return to me my copies of 'Red Hot Teletubbies' and 'Cuddly Toy Compromised' forthwith. Thank you.
