I'D Rather Pick Flowers

If I weren't afraid, I'd pluck some dainty flowers Be unashamed of mostly women at showers, Stand with you dressed in choir robes and singing hymnals, Be sweet like a kitty not roar like animals Hold infant with both hands, and not catch a fly ball, Be very nice and kind with my mother-in-law, Chewing gum and smiling, not crunching jawbreakers, Great in mid-life with no crisis, and no takers. 2019 September 10
