Analysis of One last dot
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
A dot of varnish
A cherry on the top
Of every nail
Dont stop mum dont stop
Can I try the lipstick
And make it drop
Or make whiskers like tigers from mascara chop en
Can I hold the brush softly to your face
Making rainbows of colour
In all its disgrace
