Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

I Can Do What I Want

I am at the stage of my life where I can do what I want.
If I say no, don’t, beg, give me guilt or try to cajole.
I will not take any guff or persuading, so you had better hunt
For an accommodating person who will care more for your goal.

I have my own interests, things that can make my day fun.
I gladly entertain myself and do things in my own time and place.
I do not care that you need day care and you are under the gun.
I have already put in my time, been contributing member to the human race.

Now my time is my own, and I do it up proud.
I paint, and cartoon, and I draw pictures of stuff. 
I live in the moment, away from all kind of a crowd. 
I do whatever I want, and I will not take any guff.

Ilene Bauer October 19, 2020 at 1:25 PM yes, that is certainly one of the (few) advantages of getting older! Caren Krutsinger October 20, 2020 at 2:52 AM It truly is!
