Read my favourite Poem By redqueen in redqueen's Diary Mon Nov 28, 2005 at 09:07:43 PM EST Tags: User Diary (all tags)
	from childhood, courtesy of Dahl's James and the Giant Peach. If you read it outloud, you'll feel much better -- guaranteed! (I used to do it as a little girl and it worked!!):

"I look and smell," Aunt Sponge declared, "as lovely as a rose!" Just feast your eyes upon my face, observe my shapely nose! Behold my heavenly silky locks! And if I take off both my socks You'll see my dainty toes." "But don't forget," Aunt Spiker says, "how much your tummy shows!" Aunt Sponge went red. Aunt Spiker said, "My sweet, you cannot win, Behold MY gorgeous curvy shape, my teeth, my charming grin! Oh, beateous me! How I adore My radiant looks! And please ignore The pimple on my chin." "My dear old trout!" Aunt Sponge cried out, "You're only bones and skin!" "Such loveliness as I possess can only truly shine In Hollywood!" Aunt Sponge declared. "Oh, wouldn't that be fine! I'd capture all the nations' hearts! They'd give me all the leading parts! The stars would all resign!" "I think you'd make," Aunt Spiker said, "a lovely Frankenstein." Some days I wish I was a little Girl again.
