~following the Rules!~

~Rules were meant to be broken~ *At least that’s what I think* ~All words were meant to be spoken~ *Just as Jack Daniels was meant to drink* ~I don’t like structure, I like to be free~ *I generally do the opposite of what I am told* ~You‘ll never meet anyone quite like me~ *After me I guarantee they broke the mold* ~I never was one to follow the rules~ *I did things on my terms most of the time* ~It got me in lots of trouble at school~ *But without it I wouldn’t be writing this rhyme* ~See I do as I’m told if it suits my mind~ *And I follows the rules to a tee* ~But if I am pushed, I’ll be disinclined~ *I have a contrary streak!* (By: Tirzah Conway) -Dedicated to A Rambling Poet-

Yeah, there are some silly rules that don't set well with me either, Tirzah. Guess "I have a contrary streak" as well. This was well written and I can relate to it. Best wishes for success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
