Happy - In 101 Words

Thank you, God, for making me a female, one so strong, cheerful and alive! The weaker sex? I guess! If being frail can serve me, I will anything contrive! A tire flat? Out of gas? I use “femininity” when in a fix. I do it oh so charmingly - this ruse- used by clever chicks like politics! Those that share my gender cast a spell, and In our sex are pleasant aspects found. In art of conversation we excel. By friendship and by loyalty we are bound. ***** envy? Me? I like your plan, I am happy not to be a man! For the the What Makes You Happy old - new poem Poetry Contest of Royal Ninja~

Celebrate the communality and embrace the differences. Nothing wrong with being happy as we are. Too much political correctness around, which makes feelings to vanish too often...

I enjoyed your humorous write, Andrea! I, myself, like being the weaker sex as it is so much nicer having a man do the "heavy" work so I don't have to. Congrats on your win! Love, Kim

Very upbeat, positive outlook on being female. I have another take on it, not that I'd want to be a guy but would love not having the hot flashes and mood swings that men have no idea how bad it can be. Plus, never had anyone help me with a flat, did it myself several times while men walked past me without a thought of helping.
