Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You

“Life is not simple, and people can’t be boxed into being either heroes or villains” Jessica Hagedorn

Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You

I may no be the hero type
Or match your idea of a villain
You think I am a complete zero hype
Because I caused you a chilling
Just because in your grand plan
I did not win the grand slam
Stuff me in the smallest locker
It isn’t such a shocker

It’s not the obstacle, it’s a mild hindrance
I will seek and find the entrance

Just because

I can never be part of the conventional stock
Always and forever thinking outside the box

Good God Get a Grip Girl!

“No tea, no shade honey!” RuPaul’s Drag Race

Good God Get a Grip Girl!

You may
Think
You’re the
Cat’s meow
But let’s see
How you
Really feel
After I
Tell you
About
What you
Actually are

I’m not
Trying to
Come for you
Offend you
Upset you
Or even
Resent you
In any way

But this is
What it is
How it is
Really like

Why
Don’t you
Give yourself
A really good
Look in
The mirror
And tell me
Can you
Get a grip
On it!

Life is a Musical (number)

“The world’s most famous and popular language is music” Psy

Life is a Musical (number)

Luck be a lady
Don’t be shady
Roll on those dice
Bring me nothing
But blue skies
Today

All day long
Singing along
Dancing, prancing
Even romancing
In the rain
Real life
Down the drain

Feels like
Witchcraft
Sorcery
No worries
Of groceries
When I’m riding
On this plane

All is fine
There is no time
To slow down
Get me to
Funky town

My life is
A musical
Today

Mom

An homage to Mothers everywhere

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it” Mark Twain

Mom

A Superhero
Without a cape
A villain
Without a bait

You may not
Be perfect
Or even a saint
A vision of Madonna
I wouldn’t paint

Often
I neglect
To tell you
Never a zero
Always my hero
My go to

Mom

Äiti (Hyvää Äitienpäivää!)

Omistettu kaikille Äideille, erityisesti Mammalle

“Äidit ovat vaistomaisia filosofeja” Harriet Beecher Stowe

Äiti

Voimanainen
Erilainen
Ei elämäsi
Helponlainen

Selviytyjä
On yhtä hyvä
Kuin kylvetty
Viisauden jyvä

Nimesi
Mukanani
Kannan ikäni

Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!

“There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles” ~Author Unknown

Chocolate is The Answer, Who Cares What the Question is!

You may be iconic
But also diabolic
It’s quite symbolic
To call me a ‘holic
But still I frolic
When I get glycogenic

Pining for your taste
Of the full flavour laced
With truffles
My mouth muffled
When I eat
My favourite treat

My life in dire straits
Would be
Without the traits
You offer me
Oh sweet Chocolate
Thee

I may not be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I am Someone’s Double Vodka

“If you don’t like me, fine. It’s not my job to make you happy”

I may not be Everyone’s Cup of Tea, but I am Someone’s Double Vodka

You dont have to like me
Or be my friend
I am not looking for a life partner
Just someone to understand

If you expect to mend
And change my existence
I’d rather you just pretend
Then try to fix it

Somewhere
Someone
Is buying
What I am
Selling

I may not be
Your cup of tea
But surely some one
Prefers me
As their double vodka

What’s the last thing you think about before going to bed?
I forgot to add this and that into my writing, oh and there is a new idea again! Darn, now I need to get up and make some notes!

What’s your favorite word, in any language? It could even be a made up word, like flurble, for example. No, I don’t know what it means.

Cow brains. Meat basically.

A dirty joke.

 My resonating voice and belly laughter?

Is it really better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all? Also, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? (Ok, ignore that second question)
