Flakes

Scrolling down thru Instagram
There are
Thin girls
Skinny latte girls
Girls with abs
Working out
Walking out
Wilting over a piece of let-us
Let us see
Girls
Cubby girls
Fat girls
Ordinary girls
Not filtered
Every day beauties…
Girls escaping the misery of Covid-19
By being in touch with
Family
Social – distancing
But staying in touch
In their world where
Common sense prevails…
I had 4 Cadbury flakes
Last night
I’m heavy for my height
I try to manage my weight
As best I can
During the lockdown
I admit
I may have gone a bit mad
But I’m no flake….!!!!!
