Life's My Oyster

Aware that the Goldilocks Zone is an area of habitable space a planet is from a star, this Monotetra poem resulted from my first thought...thinking with the mind of this fairytale miss. I don't like to whine or complain but sometimes I am quite inane. When feeling lost, I can't remain Totally sane totally sane The day's too hot; the night's too cold I try real hard to stay controlled but life seized me when I got old a stranglehold a stranglehold Husband said I've become a grouch He's a caveman. To that I'll vouch because he broke both bed and couch Walks with a slouch walks with a slouch I cooked a roast; he wanted steak His loud snoring keeps me awake That ol' bear gives me a headache I need a break I need a break One day soon, I'll leave that lout Wear a smile instead of a pout Sleep in my bed and throw him out Without a doubt without a doubt I will not be his 'Goldi Girl' That Neanderthal is a churl Life's my oyster with sand to swirl I'll be a pearl I'll be a pearl March 28, 2021 Goldilocks Zone Poetry Contest Sponsored by Anthony Biaanco
