Bio Poem

I can rhyme on a dime And I must say that I’m Pretty good when I put my mind to it. I can’t cook but a book Will entice me to look And I’ll read if I have time to do it. I’m a city gal, witty gal, Not a self-pity gal, Though I complain and I kvetch. I’m Type-A, so my day Doesn’t handle delay And some frazzle’s not really a stretch. I’m not young but I’ve clung To the habits I’ve wrung From my middle-class family youth. Though I roam, when I’m home And I’m writing a poem, I am happiest – that is the truth. Ilene Bauer
