Pleasantly Weird

Pleasantly
Bull headed, bird brained, chicken and foxy
From a bramble of a family tree
A lover of Cohen, Midler and Dennis Lee
Who regularly feels awe, paralyzing angst, and humility
Fearing the end of birds singing, seasons changing and liberty
Hoping to see a Purple Martin, a Gyrfalcon, and fifty
Proudly from Vanier
Weird

Anna Hopper Date: 2/15/2019 1:29:00 PM I love it! Weird is the best way to be. In a perfect world, you would be my neighbor and we would sit on the porch, sip whiskey and tell inappropriate jokes.
