Susans
Susans are rampant. Have you noticed? Susan, from
the Persian, 5000 years ago, means lotus flower. 80s alt
guitarists Band of Susans boasted three Lotus ladies.
Left St Andrews where the only decent feed
to be had was at A Boy Named Sue,
the woodfired pizza joint next to the pub.
Now in Hepburn Springs, convivial Susan serves
at The General Store - fresh rolls and Turkish
toasties - and more Turkish still, at Moor Please
over the road, dark Suzanne serves folded egg
while blond Susannah serves a mean latte
at the long outdoor table with balloon back chairs.
Remember Susan Bott, at East Ivanhoe State School,
high-pitched voice, basin hair cut, skinny legs, best
mates with mammoth Marcelle Proust, dentist's daughter.
Sue Moulton arrived at Balwyn High in form five
half way through a library class, still wearing
the blue uniform of her previous school,
hair piled up on her head, jet black mascara
and a model's stature. No one went near her
so I did and heard she had the hots for Jimmy Page.
Years later taught with Sue Riordan, perky librarian
and officious year level co-ordinator, who smiled to hear
one of the tradies declare she had the best tits on staff.
Suzanne fed young Leonard tea and oranges, such
an odd combination, managing to sound both exotic
and erotic. Brings you down but lingers through the years.
Was the TAA stewardess Susan in the 60s ad?
My sister-in-law is Sue. She's lived in Wang for years.
Johnny Cash's tough man of course weathered his Sueness.
Black-eyed Susans flower up and the band sang Smoking
Johnny Cash. Actress Susan Sarandon drove her five syllables
from Dead Man Walking to Thelma and Louise's final lurch.
Mum's sister, my late Aunt Hazel, was known to close friends
as Sue. I never found out why. Perhaps, like the vicious
circular kitchen gadgetry, I'm just a lazy Susan myself.
