joints hanging from their lips / high as kites
a smoke filled strategy room / perched on stools
floor littered with crumbs / rivulets of pop
these pompous jerks / fallen prey to the newest fad

goddess with an unmistakable air of
dormant wildness about her [speaks volumes]
Russians being pompous / ignored the
* NATASHA IS FORBIDDEN FRUIT / HANDS OFF *
signs posted everywhere / anywhere
clueless Russians like to hang
'sloppy-guy' strategists / the rough and the ready

ReplyDeleteOh Helen! You made me laugh out loud all the way through. What a delight! I hope that Natasha is well-versed in fending off the slobs and keeping them in their place! :-)
ReplyDelete""Muffin and Coke diet" -- Ha! Like a movie screen, you made the scene come into focus and Natasha, I'm positive, will have the last word! What a hoot, Helen, enjoyed every word. ❤
ReplyDeleteGo Natasha! I like your tale, Helen!
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh like crazy at the very vivid portrait you present, Helen. Somehow I'm sure Natasha can take care of herself in this pompous but wit-scrambled company!
