Poignant Points

Point the way to Provincetown Pretty Penny says The point is that we don’t run round The circle at Buzzard’s Bay! It’s pointless pretty Penny preens To go another way For what’s the point she screams That way, there’s always a delay! Pointing west toward the sea Across the channel’s quay Pretty bossy Penny Piloted that day… And she arrived under the sky at the point of PTown, fey though she was not guy and in no way, was she gay!

so from that last line, am I to infer that one should be either a man or a gay to live in Provincetown? hahahaha. I remember what you said in soupmail. Yes, I agree about this!! LUv, Andrea

Cute poem, Deb. If it's for the contest, it's supposed to be 20 lines. If not, it's just a pleasure to read. Best wishes, Carolyn
