Now, I need you to help me:
I am going to construct
a new and better self,
so I must clear away
and dump the old stuff,
that boring and crappy
side of me.
What I need you to do
is to order some online
new fashion values
and a set of tips
for how I should best behave
to get the most,
you know the ones
that are on special at the moment.
Now, don’t forget to
throw in some of those
great and noble habits,
and I mean the brand name ones
advertised in the media; oh yes,
and a large bin for
the old ones, please.
And of course I am
going to require the greatest
foundations that money
can buy, not to mention,
some lavish cosmetic furnishings,
from the best place, of course.
What do you mean
that’s not going
to create a new and better self?
That’s the way everyone does it,
and I want a piece of that action too.
A centre you say. A centre? Hm?
I suppose it’s love;
so can you be a top fella
and drop into the bargain store.
