Mrs Foley looks in the mirror . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . .

oh
i see i was right
i said when
i was younger

i am too vain to be vain

now i look like i have been dragged through a knothole backwards

hmmm / smile

yet somehow comforting to be all let gone and growing old as ungracefully as possible

(yet all those other parts of me / especially Miss Tickle with her heart-healthy ways / are calling in
la donna della vanita*



* put a little accent mark over the second a in vanita / thatta girl)
