She worked to pay for
a house
near to a fine school system
On weekends
she could not afford
to go to the local
expensive solarium
so she sponged herself
in cooking oil
and lay in the
heat beside the
two car garage
and smiled
as she baked
remembering
the Realtor who had mentioned
that if she moved the rhododendron bushes
the garage could be
converted into an extra bedroom
Love it Claine - it really hits the mark, the spot, whatever - well, TBH it hit me in the gut! Fabulous - really packs a punch and resonates for me.
