Fancy-Free

My fancy isn’t costly though sometimes it can be. I fancy this; fancy that, or at the drop of a hat, I’ll fancy things TOO fancy. Since I’ve not got lots of money, if too costly is my fancy, I’ll just make do, because it seems some things I want remain as dreams while I keep living fancy-free!!

Clever little last line. Some of us have acquired a sense of pride in living fancy free. May you still find your joyful dreams to come true.

I always liked that song "Fancy" written and sung by Bobbie Gentry. Reba had a great version as well. Sorry a bit off topic. I love comfort above anything to fancy however, like you there maybe just a few things I fancy but no harm in dreaming :)

Lovely write, Andrea... although I did keep mis-reading "fancy" (but I think that's because I've been writing too many bawdy limericks of late!) :) Best of luck with the contest! Regards, John.

I wish you good luck in the contest :) The things I fancy are unreachable. Much better to set humble goals indeed....
