Our dearest friend, Nadia, from Dudley.
where the men wear coats and the women are studly
share a joke that goes back twenty year
when she was the lady in M&S gear.
Where the phrase came from I do not recall
and Google has been of some help not at all
for what is aloud is betrayed by the movement
of hands where the humour obtains the improvement
"My friend has curly hair" illustrated by finger
moving in circles, at temple will linger
"and brushes her teeth" with an index one pointed
at whoever sits in the direction anointed.
"Mad as a Hatter," my friend seems to mean
and has me in giggles whenever she's seen.
