Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

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!!

Robert Johnson May 19, 2017 at 7:57 PM 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.

Carol B. May 15, 2017 at 3:25 PM 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 :)

John Michaels May 15, 2017 at 2:27 PM 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.
