CELIA'S POEMS

            No 131  July 26

            You’ve been reading my poems for months now,

            I’ve sent them every day,

            I’ve loved the comments that you’ve made,

            The lovely things you’ve had to say.

            I just do not like getting old,

            I think I’ve said before,

            I’ve got no joy from magic creams,

            Don’t use them anymore,

            So I’ll let you into a secret,

            You may think that it’s funny,

            Well let me tell you here and now,

            It’s going to save you money.

            I’ve got rid of my wrinkles,

            It wasn’t a big task,

            I get all dressed up to go out,

            And then put on my mask.

            So go along with Boris

            His message isn’t wrong,

            Besides helping kill Covic

            It makes you feel quite young.

            Your wrinkles will be hidden,

            To your friends it brings surprise,

            So keep a smile upon your face,

            They’ll only see your eyes,

            We’ve not had much to smile about,

            But I think these masks are fine,

            To be honest, I just love them,

            I’ll wear mine all the time.
