Lashed Out
When i was younger
(So much younger than today)
I used to have
Lashings, and lashings
Of lashes
My sister sometimes
Used to tease me
At my sexy girly eyelashes
Fifty years later
After forty five years
Of smoking spliffs
My pretty little eyelashes
Got burnt away
Now barely with a quiff
I can only mutter
About lashes
That no longer flutter

Ya. But there's always that line..........have you ever heard of a guy going to a girl and say ''you have such beautiful eyelashes''? I don't think so. And I see some in the métro sometimes. Gosh. A foot long it seems. And what for?

good point, ive seen those eyelashes. i once had a makeover (never again!) and false lashes were put on me, it felt like i was wearing blinkers! so i only use a bit of lippy, and do my nails now, which probably saves me a fortune. which is probably a good thing really, as i am a pauper poet! lol!
