Chatty Chinese matriarch
Embarking on the western part
Of world domination aka summer vacation
Sitting on trains and vacating stations
Staying vacant with her stare
Cos if you don’t look then they don’t care,
No need for bingo with the lingo
When no-one even knows your there.
Her belly begs for ancient jellied eggs
Better suck it up until the last leg
Opt for second best: eating cake, mouth agape
Sans dinnerplate, sticking fingers in her gum
As if it were plug, digging finger and thumb
Rummaging as though it’s fun
Figuring out from where each morsel comes.
Looks like she completely missed the point
Missing coins I’d call spare change,
Spare a thought for middle-age.
Space age coat for the present day,
All sun no rain, must be a pain
To overpack and then have to wear that.
Pitter patter go the April showers,
Showing off her foresight powers
Not a fan of powder but happy when she’s pouting
Underneath her jet black hair
Short, cropped Lego block
Wet from all the water drops
Switch the hairdryer on, now turn it off
But drop it in the bath and I guess her journey stops.
