Wendy Taylor
Age 80
Suffolk Park, NSW
Make room, Wendy Taylor is in the house! Wendy is a creative force to be reckoned with and one of her (many) mantras is “don’t go beige with age!” Wendy has a tremendous sense of humour and sense of fashion.
Her adventurous attitude has taken her to many places, including a TV show where she won a Bonneville Pontiac. Not joking! She’s got a talent for hosting parties which has seen her roll with pollies to minor royalty (and some petty crims, like any good party). She’s also got a talent for words and is not short on material!
Bath
By Wendy Taylor
when i slide into that steaming sudsy water i see
80 years of puddings
chocolate
lemon delicious puddings
bread and butter
sticky date
and steamed puddings with treacle
my thighs suggest buttery biscuits
and
buckets of hot salty chips
ooh i have a favourite day
16th May
International not diet day
permission to have slabs of rich dark chocolate
green jelly snakes
peanut brittle
Turkish delights
cherry ripes
mmmmmmm M and Ms
Malteses
and i remember 2 jaffas
one for the mouth and one to roll south
down the wooden floor of the old Odeon theatre
t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t,t
I haven’t forgotten cake
Nigella says
to bake
this cake
take
4 mars bars
i must confess
to this excess
i love the chocolatey gooey mess
Now i see in this steaming water
a tum that has succumb to a vat
this rounded turn has become an overflowing vat
of
Sugar, salt and fat.
