A naked lady
took my dollar

she wished me
Merry Christmas

a curly woman
stroked the paper

I wished her
Happy New Year

''not yet'' she said
''in 3 days time''

I asked her
resolutions

''lose weight get rich
and shake for it''

''world peace''
was my rejoinder

''peace in self''
she smiled to add

but this third is
a misnomer

''is this last wish
not correct?'' she asked

''I'm not''
I said
