Not Quite Wonder Woman

Hey kids watch out because now I'm here You know with me you have nothing to fear I'm the one who makes you laugh When I get my toe stuck in the bath I love to cook but I burn the dinner You kids will just get thinner and thinner Guess I won't have to drive too far Because I can't reverse park the car No matter how hard I try I can't do simple DIY You say I can't sing Karaoke Sounds like a frog I am so croaky My make up looks really foul As if I applied it with a trowel You laugh so loud at the way I dress And say my new hairstyle is a mess But when all is said and done I'm just your wonderful old mum With me your life ain't never glum And so I have now become... BLUNDERWOMANNNNNNNNNN 3rd August 2014

The title drew me in. kind of poem that drags the reader in and bring their inner kids out to laugh. I guess we're all a bit of blunder woman in disguise. lol

Hi Jan, This is funny! my mom could only cook three ways raw, cold, or burnt offerings nothing in between. I amazed other marines when I just opened a can of spaghetti and ate it cold. This is what I thought of when I read your burned the dinner line. My singing is so bad my dogs run out of the room and cover their ears literally so I ID with the frog line too. congrats on the win too.Great write kriver
