Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Myself In Melodies

The instructions were to write yourself with song lyrics. Here it is: 
I am woman hear my voice, you can cower, but I will find you.
As nicely as I can, I must say, "Take this job and shove it. "
Gypsies tramps and thieves parade around, showing my own feelings.
I am happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, insanely so some days.
Proud Mary, you make me want to shake as we roll on the river.
I'm Henry the 8th I am, Henry the 8th I am, I am. Not Henrietta, Henry.
For I am the king, not a mere queen.
Caren with a C like Liza with a Z

So you brought back a fun memory! Caren Krutsinger January 27, 2022 at 12:33 AM I am so glad that I could. Not this job though Kim. I love this job. It is different than the 28 jobs I quit.
