Spin and leap
High in the air
Try to catch
What isn’t there
Windows covered
With drapes and blinds
Who can guess
What hides behind
A perfect scene
Try not to scream
Making up
Waking up
From a dream
Spider lashes
On her cheek
Lips silly-coned
She cannot speak
And (s)he, and he
With coiffured hair
Blows his TRUMPet
For all to hear
A plastic life
In a paper book
A fairy tale
Which some believe
And try so hard
To achieve

hard to live up to a fairy tale…or live in one…better to wake up to reality and make the most of it and what you have received….

Unfortunately many people want to live like TV or film stars.

Wrong fairy tale, perhaps. The one you describe so well is based on artificiality. I like aspiring to one of the really jolly ones.

Oh yes, Col, but to people who are bedazzled (I like that word, lol) by the rich and (in)famous that is the life to aim for.
