Eleanor Rigby and Me

“Waits at the window
Wearing a face
That she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?”

I just bought
the base for my “face”.

Mine won’t stay
In a jar by the door.
But it did cost
$1.00 times 4.

I recently looked
At a picture of me.
That and buying the make-up,
Brought to mind - Eleanor Rigby.

The big black Michelin
Jacket in my picture was key.
Otherwise, I would have never guessed
That face really was me.

We’d been to the beauty
Parlor that day.
Good Gosh a-mighty,
It was like mowing hay.

The eyebrows were waxed
And so was the lip.
The chin whiskers plucked
By tweezers held tight in her grip.

My hair, of course,
Was washed, cut, and curled.
Holy Beeeejesus,
I looked quite the girl!

The thing about waxing -
You should schedule touch-ups.
You know that I’m laughing
I rarely pick up a hairbrush.

I prefer a small pick
For my long stringy hair.
And the hair on my face?
It just looks foreign - totally bare.

Ex-cept, those hairs on my chin -
Those 'lil buggers
Too quickly
Grow in.

Plucking them
Is a matter of coarse/course.
I can’t handle being bearded.
Though it looks good on others,
They’d handle it worse.

Ohhh, my dear Ms. Rigby,
Just like the song,
I’ve left you alone
And not brought you along.

My point, my dear lady,
Was the face that you wore.
Mine’s called “Almay” -
Home now from the store.

Your poetry reminds me in alot of ways like Mark. Funny, Witty, Great Stories told.

I don't know what happen to Mark but I miss that guys poetry. He always took me back in time and made me feel like I was Billy Crystal from City Slickers. :tongue: laugh Just a guy wanting and tasting the beef jerky of the old west.

Now I want beef jerky. I love peppered beef jerky! And! Munchos! :wink: Munchos are my favorite chip of all time.

:banana: I'm in a giddy mood!

Happy New Year! flowerforyou Again! laugh

cool, love your writing, different take on same stuff, way to go. Can you do one on Bob Dylan? I love that guy, and I think they officially took him off the radio, I never hear him anymore.
