Ol' Cee

Seagulls swoop

Over a tranquil sea

Surrounding marina

Whirl of activity

Gossip abounds

Excitement in the air

There she is!

Blue streaked hair

Cigarette holder in hand

Trailing puffs of smoke

Dramatic as ever

Attired a la baroque

Missed by all

Lively spirit contagious

Away too long

Flamboyant, outrageous

Ol' Cee is back

Intent on fun

Chandelier earrings

Glitter in the sun

Glides to her favourite bar

Orders a neat whisky

Asked where she has been

Winks mischievously
