Good to meet you too, Mel.
Mine’s Jane.
As in Calamity. Exactly.
Yeah, that’s right
Larissa the check-in girl
was much smitten by your coat;
don’t see Crombies
round much these days.
Flame-resistant!
Ohmygod, you’re not serious!
A Bacardi Oro thanks.
You might have to remind her
about a cherry on a stick.
Yeah, a bottle blonde;
from a long line
of bottle blondes.
No, not full-time.
I study customer relationship management mornings.
But this town
being this town,
my real self
is, wudncha know, a writer.
Poems mainly.
Notched up a bedroomful
of certificates at school.
All still there, proud
and new as yesterday.
No, not love poems;

What did you change John? I know something's different.
Something about the silver photo frames seems out of character, slightly at odds with the long line of bottle blondes? Dunno, just thinking out loud really. I still think it's great and glad to read it here.
B.
really like "new as yesterday".
agreed, but it was a bit hard to follow, must need more vodka-
I'll check it out later
I agree Brian- it's sharper minus that line. Thanks for that.
Thanks Pete; Erika I await your sober assessment.
I think this one is done John.
