Champagne

She goes around like a bottle of champagne

everybody deserves.

There must be a hundred people

who count her among their best friends.

She has time for them and needs their love,

offers her own in advance.

Her gift is to convince them of this—

that they are the funniest,

the most important, free-thinking

and adorable individuals alive.

Nor is she likely to mention breast cancer,

or the extent to which she is in disguise,

untrue to friends and deceptive.

It is only by one rubber falsie.

Apart from that, she is quite herself,

especially with the focused attention,

the great affection, and above all, the bubbles.
