My clothes today provide a license I have an air of mystery That's exactly on the right side of quirky My hair can be slightly tangled and look pretty The way the light is twilight all day positions me into belonging Of course I ate a whole teaspoon of mustard and 5 cornichons so you can trust nothing I say, I've somatically danced to Creep by Radiohead and am in the "hair blown by the wind" phase of feel good I offer this prescription to anyone feeling out of sorts You're welcome

You sound like my kind of gal, DD. A little quirky keeps them guessing, I like that. A good way to avoid being too much like everyone else, IMHO. I like your revealing poem! Write On! my friend. Bill

Thank you Bill, I did try and unfortunately I can't quite manage being like everyone else. So I'll have to stick with the mustard eating share stories whilst dressed to impress haha :)

your poem created an air of mystery and was quite clever. Sometimes we just need to cut lose and eat some mustard :-) smiles, Sara

I reckon so. I once had a connoisseurs mustard collection which came in stone pots with tiny wooden spoons - I'm calling that the good old days :)

I too love the song "Creep" I do not feel that way but I love the song. I like mustard, It's really good for leg cramps at night. I enjoyed my read, DD:)
