No Fluff Or Fantasy For Me

whimsy and fantasy are for a fluffer
I am a concrete wall, none of that for me.
No weird nicknames like little duffer.
I’m hard and rough and coarse as I can be.
Don’t try to soften me up or make me smile.
I am not happy, merry, excited or gay.
Your cagey ways you need to back pedal dial.
I’m strict and staunch and mean-like; and I like it that way!

You sound like a middle-school teacher here. LOL. You need these qualities to survive. But, the poem is well-done, expressive, and revealing, Caren.

Thank you. I LOVED teaching middle school! No one in the world has such KEEN sense of HUMORS than 7th and 8th graders!
