Ann the Man

There once was a girl in a man. Who one day came up with a plan. She shed all his clothes. And oh heaven knows. She's not going back to be Stan. For Tania Kitchin's Limerick Contest. Written July 2nd.

This is super, Leslie! Great take on THE gender issue of the day... Was it a big winner in the contest?! (Is the contest even over? Is it Wednesday already?...). At any rate, it should be/have been a big winner. :) gw

GREAT poem around the transgender idea. I really like this, Robert. A guy on Soup did this. He was a vietnam soldier who refused to kill innocent women and children and he shot himself rather than do it. Years later, out of the military , he has gone to female, which he always felt inside. I have lost track of him(her)Wish he would look me up again on FB and let me know if she's ok.
