rotund parched scandalous
at 18
the young gospel singer
saw an ad for british airways on tv
featuring the flower duet from lakme
zing ding
a light bulb moment
decided then and there
to be an opera singer
whatever it took
a pleasantly rotund
pretty girl
pretty worked hard
to achieve her dream
when feeling parched
after a gruelling performance
pretty sits pretty
takes
a nice cup of tea
and phones her mum
Stunning.
