When I turn my Hoover on <br />I usually burst into a song <br />for if I sing the notes all wrong <br />no one can hear when my Hoovers on! <br /> <br />I mimic Tina Turner <br />because she's Simply the Best <br />I dance like her and I prance like her <br />and my ‘big hair' looks a mess! <br /> <br />I pretend to myself that the spotlights on <br />and I'm wearing a gorgeous dress <br />Well maybe in reality <br />it's short shorts and a vest! <br /> <br />I take my bow as I dust and sweep <br />I curtsey very low <br />I collapse on the couch all in a heap <br />Cos' I'm getting old you know. <br /> <br />Well it's rotten doing housework <br />and it adds a bit of zing <br />when I'm being Tina Turner <br />and pretending I can sing.<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-tina-turner/
