When they were handing out animus- I was missed, You know that masculine thing in my psyche; I am all girl, you can check off the female list, Took my bro's play truck because I was feisty. You know that masculine thing in my psyche, I don't like any sports and boy things, I resist; Took my bro's play truck because I was feisty, Did not want to be a truck driver- just him pissed. I don't like any sports and boy things I resist, Have courage and I am a warrior mighty; Did not want to be a truck driver- just him pissed, I have spirit and pride and great integrity. Have courage and I am a warrior mighty, Don't want to be president- just want to be kissed; I have spirit and pride and great integrity, Oh listen . . . I am all girl, so I must insist. Don't want to be president- just want to be kissed, I am all girl, you can check off the female list; Oh listen- (I am all girl), so I must insist, When they were handing out animus- I was missed. ________________________ May 19, 2016 Poetry/Pantoum/My Lack of Animus Copyright Protected, ID 16-792-118-0 All Rights Reserved.

Great Panoum Broken Wings. Not Tom boyish but you just want to be feisty with poor bro. Could see the imagery of you snatching his truck. Best wishes in the contest, RP.
