IF PARADISE IS HALF AS NICE Yawns into my morning wearing only my Edvard Munch’s THE SCREAM Tee-shirt (so that’s where it’s gone) which is a mere miniskirt on her scratching a well tanned behind. All smeared mascara all Cleopatra eyes all mad crazy hair mad as a bag of spiders dancing (sleepily to) Amen Corner on the summer radio. Takes my toast from my poised hand takes a bite crunchily...noisily then puts it back in exactly the same position. Pats me on my head “Mmmmmm.... thanks Dad! ” “Stolen toast is always twice as nice! ” Sings softly swaying to herself “If Paradise is half as nice “As the Heaven that you take me to...” (Ooops...slops spills her orange juice) “...who needs Paradise? ” “I’d rather...have you! ” Then suddenly excitedly talking to boyfriend No.22 on her little pink glitzy mobile. Guess my little girl has(gulp) grown up!
