What happens?
How does it work - how can it be?
How do we go from a sparkly eyed teenager - straight A'sapple of our fathers eye
'ice creams and pony-tails'
big plans to take over the world
innocence personified!
...then
...imperceptibly
...we turn into
a down at heal
down in the dumps
overweight
mid fourties
twice divorced
4 kids
4 cans of fosters and a quarter bottle of vodka - sort of person
...20 Benson's
and yet another lighter
"cos your life's a mess and you can't find the other
million lighters you've bought previously - sort of person
...going to the shops in our dressing gowns
a pasty and packet of crisps for the only meal of the day - sort of person!
...and all that in just 25 years!
