In a Nutshell

A mess inside out
From head to toe
   Her boat, afloat
But refuses to go

   A dime piece if she tries
But prep, a bore 
   Hops in the car
Her purse by the door

   Cruising the highway
Radio blaring
   Singing ungracefully
People staring

   Can't paint a picture
Or tie a decent bow
   But something about literature
Gives her a glow

   She will write about the moon
And it's many craters
   From midnight till noon
A word generator

   Painting pictures with words
Building bridges with thought
   Most remain unheard
For listeners, she's sought

   It doesn't pay the mortgage
Or dress the table 
   But it gives her an edge
And she is mentally able 

   God gave her this passion
There must be reason
   So she'll use her ration
And wait for her season
