Our Managing Director calls to everyone: Look
at her strange attire – I am battling the freezing
office conditions until the sun rises - wearing a
black burka blouse and scarf, sleeveless black
lace jacket & black school jersey - also
The large, green fleecy jacket of an Irish goblin
and a magnificent magenta blanket over my so
amazing ensemble, all laughing and remarking
on my bare feet – I stand all day so shoes are
uncomfortable and I forgot to bring socks -
Peace restored, drinking hot chocolate brings
heat and I ditch the paraphernalia till only the
black burka top and magenta blanket are left -
I dream of bathing in the sea, clad in the new
Burkini* covering me from top to toe, though
My Afrikaans brethren might succumb to severe
shock on seeing this Dutch-decendant looking
just like a radical Muslim suicide bomber rolling
in the waves, the Burkini protecting me against
the ravages suffered in traditional swimsuits
Sighing I stop day-dreaming & return to the
very exciting and inspiring “Legal aspects
of human settlements” text...
[*Burkini – a burka-bikini covers all except the face;
the Mayor of Paris immediately forbade it as it is
dangerous to swim in street clothes]
