The Lighter Side of Me

I’m not much into phonies And I love to play the ponies I spend too much shoppin’ And do too less moppin’ I love my amazing hubby My fantastic cat, Chubby Starbuck’s Passion Iced Tea That trashy Reality TV My famed DVR recorder Though not exactly in that order! I am crazy about my fitness classes And adorable old men who make passes 'Experts' say I have ADD, but I don’t agree The reasons…Wow look, a hickory tree!!!*** I fancy fine champagne and microbrew beer When the Broncos are on, you’ll hear me cheer Well, good friends, alas, my departing… Why, you ask? Big Brother is starting!!! ***Warning: If you ‘get’ this, you just might have ADD :)

I'm not even sure what ADD is, so I probably haven't got it LOL. Thanks, Natalie - your contest was great fun. I was very sorry to hear about your friend

Got a kick out of this, Natalie, especially the way you changed the thought stream after mentioning ADD. Bob is not the only Broncos fan. They're one of my favorite pro teams as well. Hope they have a great season -- can't wait for football to start. Love your poem, Carolyn
