The Nameless Woman…


She couldn't remember her name you know!
She was in the off license store…
Looking for to buy some booze…
But blimey, who knows what for!

She wasn't even drunk, she was sober,
But when they asked her name…
She looked quite blank, went quite red…
And held her head in shame!

‘Errrrm, oooh, dear me!'  She stuttered!
And she didn't quite know what to say,
So she stood and thought and said to herself…
‘Oh blimey, woman, what's your name today!'

She muttered and stuttered where she stood,
And the sales person watched in awe…
Couldn't believe what he was hearing…
And still she stared at the floor!

Her thoughts in a total flurry…
She tried to act all calm…
But it was too late, she was in a state!
And her face was causing alarm!

She sheepishly raised her head to look…
And there she saw him smile…
And suddenly she knew her name…
It was in her head all of the time.

But she has these ‘non-de-plume's' you see!
And quite often she will forget…
What name she's under that day…
Or even if it's a name she's not had yet!

She works for a ‘secret' firm,
Not allowed to divulge her stuff…
Cos I have to be quite honest,
She deals with a job that's rough!

So she slinks her way into her workplace,
And her ‘non de plume' kicks in…
Another day at the office…dear!
Another battle she must win!

And win she will for she's very sure…
That no-one will break her wall's down,
She is stood there firm and at the ready…
Glaring, with a withering frown!

Ready to face another battle…
She stands with the phone in her hand!
And switches into ‘stealth' mode,
And makes a determined stand!

The person at the other end of the phone…
Feels her powerful force….
And they soon submit to the strength she has…
They conceded…they complied…of course!

She stands there in all her glory,
A woman proud and strong…
But she can't tell what her job is…
Or she wouldn't live very long!!!

So suffice to say, she had to forgot her name,
For Mrs N0-Name is she!
At the end of the day, come what may…
Its breathing she still wants to be!

And if her job was rumbled,
I'm afraid she would be too!
And that just doesn't bear thinking about…
After all, it's a horrible job to do!

Can you guess what it is?
Do you think you could have a clue?
As to the dangerous situation she's in!
A situation that wouldn't do for you!

If she has to have a non-de-plume'
Then her job must be out of sight!
No face on show, Mrs No-Name…
The ‘lady' who can't tell of her plight!
