Jeanetics

irishnesses possabilaties
could be either or  but
italianish gaurantees
roman catholics

though i don't take
the time to make
the sign of the
cross anymore

instead crossing both
my fingers and my
toes in the hopes
of    what

the Connelly's
would say watch
out what you wish
for for if you get

the wording even
a slightly bit off 
the odds of you
getting what you

wanted are more
than a trillion to
one so one best
think before

speaking
so remembering
me at seventeen
being in church

of my own
volition wishing
to speak to the
supreme being

violated elder
ethics of having
not dressed but
in blue jeans 

my last time ever
leaving i passed
a man wearing
sandals entering

thinking
jesus dude
good luck
not getting

the boot

Thank you Maureen. I'm happy to read about smiles; laughs, and giggles; making me happy that I'm helping this happen. Looking back at my life I laugh at a lot of things now.
