French Polish
A morsel of coke
between manicured fingers
nails polished
au naturel
for a botox generation
pink as a Botticelli bottom
with a bone white tip and moon

Old Etonian Recipe
In an insulated atmosphere, sift
blue blood, old gold, new media, testosterone:
time-honoured recipe for today.
Do NOT stir.
Allow to rise and rise and rise and rise –
groundlings may lick-up trickle-down Mess.
* Eton Mess is a desert of broken meringue, whipped cream and strawberries.
* Myfanwy Fox wanted to be a Clanger but she never learned to knit.
