For Melina Merkouri


from the ABC set ALMOST ZEN

No words can describe

this woman's vibe, nor

indeed transcribe her genes,

flooding the scenes of

drama queens as tragic

wives and magic girls,

almost pelagic sirens, who

sing so blue and

say adieu while swimming

in Piraeus brimming with

her undimming brio.

Was she any relation to Freddie Merkouri?

No. By the way, Freddie had fishnet legs that could caramelise your brain, crack your loins etc. See for yourself:

Unlike me, he doesn't make a very convincing woman. Note the huge hairy slug under his nose. I preferred the one dressed as a schoolgirl.

Now I really admire this and how! I tried my hand at this Burmese climbing thingy and it ain't half 'ard. Mine was a disaster ... quite literally.

This is clever ... quite literally.

I knew you would prefer the one dressed as schoolgirl Mac.

Tina, thanks for commenting, it was an interesting challenge - I was probably lucky that day..

thanks again.
