Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

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
