Agnes Plinkett goes to Turkey
once a year, for two short weeks,
-- chubby wrinkly Agnes Plinkett
rubbing lotion on sagged cheeks.
Bringing trashy books and glossies
is her young friend Ashley Prink
-- perfumed, clear-skinned, wild and perky,
flirting coyly for a drink.
With her bubbly friend beside her,
Agnes Plinkett feels secure,
laughing loudly at her gossip,
praying that their bond is sure.
But what happens on the third day?
Ashley's picked up like a plum.
Flipping through her books and glossies,
Agnes knew this day would come.
