Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

And Miss Ploy
he said

when you’ve done
with the word processing

they’re a few other items
I want you to process

and can you
skip coffee break

I have this important meeting
with an new client

which could be
a break through

for us and me
and I need you there

to take notes
and could you bring me

a coffee black
no sugar

(trying to lose weight)
and oh

if my wife rings
tell her I’m out

and hey
is that a new dress

you’re wearing?
It suits you

yes nice
and oh

by the way
if you hear any rumours

about me
and that Miss Topsham

ignore them
I have never ever

and god
look at the time

well go now
and don’t forget

the meeting
and off he went

and Miss Ploy sat
at her desk

and laid her head
on the desk

and closed
her eyes

and thought
fuck you.

Fuck you.

That's only a little part of that story. I know few other poets who can put themselves in the place of their heroines as well as you do. Your wife and daughters are lucky. And so are you sons.

Thank you, Anna.
