Listen to poem:

I sit on the fence Would like to be eccentric But don’t quite pull it off I still cater to way too many people Yet I’ll never become their puppet So beware to those who Try to pull their stunts I don’t handle well Being manipulated Though I’ll applaud it If well done I no longer have it in me to be That lovely little cheerful girl The naïve type I used to be Especially when dealing With people who’ve been known To try to take advantage of me I can move on but can’t forget I’m OK with being an acquired taste AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on July 8, 2019 for contest YOU AND YOURS, LET'S GET PERSONAL sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 2nd Originally posted on December 2, 2018

There is nothing like experience to give us the cahootchie-dootchies to do what we wish we could have done when we were younger. I could have never been this assertive in my youth. Nice write, my friend.

Yes, experience is a good teacher but goes about it backwards: she gives the test first and then the lesson.
