Naked in the Storeroom


Many years ago when I worked in an ironmongers shop

I used to go into the storeroom with a girl named Alice Vanessa

We would remove our clothes as soon after the owner of the store left for lunch

And stand quite still between the shelves of cleaning fluids and ready made brooms

After about ten minutes we would get dressed and eat our lunch near the railway window

There was nothing at all sexual about our actions and I think that my colleague would have agreed

Alice Vanessa was not that attractive being rather plain with a fat bottom and a birth mark on her hip

The old ironmongers shop now sells greeting cards coloured wrapping paper pins and balloons

It is called Remembering You and I often pass it when I am visiting clients who live near the station
