The Page Three Girl
-
1. In the beginning was the word. And the word was with God. And the word was God. Then the word became flesh and dwelt among us.
-
2. At first the word was a German housewife. Simon the mechanic said she reminded him of A History of the World in Eight Volumes. He left her sitting on the shelf.
-
3. Next the word was a nun. Barry the Gib-stopper was as interested in her as he was in reading the Bible.
-
4. Then the word became a solo mother with three kids who had just been left by a troubled husband found spying on his boss for a foreign government until he ran away with her. Dave the cabinet-maker said she was as complicated as a novel.
-
5. Next the word was an actress. Dick the electrician fell asleep when he found out there were no car chases in her script.
-
6. Later the word was a barmaid. Vic the bricklayer quickly made off with her as though she was a Sunday newspaper tucked firmly underneath his arm.
-
7. At last the word appeared as naked as a poem. Mum found her hiding underneath my mattress. I said heavens. She said hell. You said Jesus, Mary and Joseph. And all Jeff the plumber ever said was God!
