Grab the rose petal water baby -and some moisturisering cream ..
In about fifty five minutes you’ll be lookin’ at a dream
To some it might look easy but let me put things right
What once appeared by nature- only comes now with a fight.
But-With Half a pound of concrete I can shore up saggy skin
Then move on to the eyebrows where the gaps are pencilled in.
The lashes take some effort and I’ll admit it looks a sight
When I apply that metal canister and pull with all my might.
It lays on something thick and black- I think it could be tar
But -the effect is quite dramatic and they stand out from afar.
About twenty different pasty things then get stuck around my eyes
It takes a bit of time of course – as to rush would be unwise.
A fool might treat this lightly .. but for this every morning frequence
You can’t afford to slap it on ….. each paste goes on in sequence!
Once the eyes are done I can then move on to my face.
Creams and lotions do their bit, with some fudge there-just in case-
It’s layered on with whirly things not too much but just enough
Then tampered down quite nicely- with an expensive ball of fluff.
So far we’ve done really well! – but we’re only half way there
We’re movin; on and upwards now …- you guessed it … it’s the hair !!
Drying takes a lifetime …. as does teasing all the bits
That refuse to lie or curl or slide before we call it quits.
And then you’d think it’s over …..- but that’s just where you’re wrong
As It’s time to grab the curling things and roll it using tongs!
Wait twenty minutes- or half an hour …- hey we’re almost there
Just one more round of powder .. and ……… a touch up of the hair!
Yep … now we’re making progress .. who said that I was slow …?
Now …
When I’ve tried out all these lipsticks … I’ll be good to go !!!
