Two Wax Mannequins

Two Wax Mannequins


It’s the summer of 1929

We live in our American department store

We are wax mannequins

We are profusely sweating

Our hard wax is slowly melting

We are gradually cracking up

We are now glorified contortionists

As my neck spins around

I am looking down at my twisted turning feet

This is such a massive feat

I’m losing my locks of hair

My wax face now slowly weirdly distorted

My friend also has a crooked neck

Yes, and a very bendy elbow and leg

As we are still sweating extremely profusely

At this rate, we will end up in a big melting pot

It is so bloody hot

In this American department store

I can’t take much more

It’s the summer of 1929

We are just two wax mannequins sweltering in an American department store

I really don’t think us mannequins should be made from wax

In a hot summer we melt too bloody fast!
