Nail Varnish Numpty Poem by Stevie Taite

Nail Varnish Numpty

Rating: 4.7


I wish I was clever at painting my nails
But varnish just laughs in my face
I try to paint flawlessly, but doomed to fail
The lacquer won't stay in its place

I start off determined that perfect they'll be
The left hand come close to the mark
I let them dry out so they'll stay all smudge free
And then on the right, I'll embark

This is where 'do it yourself' cannot work
As ambidextrous I am not
It looks like a three year old child's gone berserk
So I end up removing the lot

Even if polish keeps where it's meant
With cuticles sitting unscathed
I guarantee before an hour is spent
Their surface looks dull and engraved!

The science of make up has answered our prayers
With the smudge and chip free makes about
I 'll have to remortgage my house but who cares
I'll flaunt my nails more when I'm out!

Brilliant Stevie, know just what you mean. I've given up on nail polish, it and housework just don't mix! !

Now, you say, one for the girls, but I think it is equally important that us males understand the trials you go through to make yourselves beautiful. To show solidarity I am going to shave left handed tomorrow, I've already informed NHS Direct so that they can make sure that the phone lines are adequately manned!
