I Refuse To Be Hurried

Come in and type practical side urges me I laugh my petootsie off IT'S TIME! Type A screams in my ear I roll my eyes in disgust at being pressured Sixty-seven degrees outside today It lures me out, I sit in the sun In my largest Mumu, enjoying my fat cells Typing is for week days It is five-thirty on a Friday night Put your poems up! An inner voice screeches. I refuse to be hurried. This is almost gardening weather. I watch a monarch fly past; amazed at my ability to ignore myself.

Fine poem, Caren. I'm glad you took some time to bathe in the sunshine and the hope for Spring. I enjoyed it immensely.

Tom Hanks used your term "petootsies" in the film "That Thing You Do!".

Did he really? I love that show! Does he use it as the same body part?
