Madame Tussauds
No visit to London would be complete without a visit to Madame Tussauds and my children and I made the most of it. We had a wonderful time amongst the fame and famous which was just as well because the scenes from the dungeon made me feel quite ill. So much torture and people nowadays think waterboarding is torture - good grief.
Here's me with George Clooney (even if he is wax). This is such a fitting picture for my poem because even this ostensibly 'perfect man' is not perfect at all.
MAN PERFECT MAN
The lady sits and
waits
She already knows the
score
Any minute now she'll
see
Her perfect man walk through the
door
The lady sits and
waits
A trifle sad it's
true
Her perfect man's not
yet arrived
She's turning
somewhat blue
The lady sits and
waits
She sits and she
waits still
For that man to lift
her spirit
The one who fits the
bill
The lady sits and
waits
So many years have
passed
There is no man who's
perfect
She understands at
last
That's right ladies - we're not perfect and you'll wait forever trying to find one that is.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Madame Tussauds. Cool wax museum.
I went to a place that was like a wax museum once. Sort of like one, anyway.

I was in London in Dec 1988 and had the privilege of visiting Madame Tussauds. It's quite an experience.
