A Blank Canvas

Actors, quite long in the tooth, stealing scenes,

Bid to be feted as stars not hasbeens!

Circus clowns wearing bright red outsized shoes

Drop baggy trousers to keep us amused.

Elegant ladies who seem cold as ice

Fast start to melt when you say they look nice.

Glamorous grannies who roll back the years

Have torrid romances that may end in tears.

Immature teenage lads, popping their zits

Just crave a girlfriend with extra large t..s

Kind-hearted nurses, working all hours

Love when we thank them with chocolate and flowers.

Mop-haired musicians making a din

Never lose count of the Gold Discs they win!

Old-fashioned schoolteachers, hoping to please

Promulgate learning with a's b's and c's.

Quarrelsome querulous Quakers may send

Ribald and rancorous rhymes to a Friend.

Silver-tongued sellers of second-hand vans

Take us for fools, while shaking our hands.

Urine-soaked winos adrift on the street

Value good deeds from the strangers they meet.

White race supremacists should know damn well

Xenophobe sentiments send them to Hell.

Youthful joyriders rev up stolen cars,

Zeroing in on a spell behind bars.
