The Great Pretender |
Monica sighed, rolled onto her side |
She was so impressed that she just surrendered |
She was moved by his wheels, she was just up from Wales |
He was fuelled by her coals and he was coming to catch her |
Lose the sense of time, nail down the blinds |
And in the succulent dark, there’s a sense of ending |
Joking aside, the mechanical bride |
Has fallen prey to the Great Pretender |
Let me just point out discreetly |
Though you never learn |
All those tawdry late-night Weepies |
I could make you weep more cheaply |
As the empty moon enamels |
Monica with spoons and candles |
Bangs around without the light on |
Furniture to get it right on |
Settled in a homely fishpool |
Hung with little eels |
Often thinks that travel widens |
Stay at home; |
the Trout obliges |
Monica sighed, rolled onto her side |
She was so impressed that she just surrendered |
