Shania Twain Drives Me Insane- In the Best of Ways

That Shania Twain
Drives me insane
She croons out the songs, “In my Car”…..
My glorified feminist is “SHE”

The ferocious female hunter
She knows when to be feminine
“Man! I Feel like a Woman!” is what gets her prey
Oh, Shania, “I’m Jealous!”

Confident of her sexuality
Yet, “She’s not Just a Pretty Face”
“Don’t be Stupid,” ….You KNOW women rule 
Cause, hey BOYS….“I’m Going to Get You GOOD”

Yes, Shania, “You’re Still the ONE”
Who makes me believe 
That I CAN control of my life 
“From this Moment On”

Eileen Manassian Ghali

Favorite Lines of MINE:

In My Car:

But in my car--I'll be the driver
In my car-I'm in control
In my car--I come alive and
In my car—I am the driver--
Watch me now! 
(I’m never as free here in Lebanon as I was in Cyprus…….Driving over a 100 Kilometers per hour…..Window down……..Wind in my hair……..Music blaring………IN CONTROL) 

I’m Gonna Getcha Good:

Uh, I Know I sound serious and baby I am
You’re a fine piece of real estate, and I’m gonna get me some land
(FOR ONCE….MEN get treated like objects and NOT women!)

Man! I Feel Like A Woman:

The girls need a break tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance, we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down (OH HOW I LOVE TO DANCE)
The best thing about bein' a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun and
Man, I Feel Like a Woman (Sorry guys…There is NO feeling like being a woman IN CONTROL)

She’s Not Just a Pretty Face:

She is your waitress, she is your judge
She is your TEACHER
She is every woman in the world
She’s…not…just a pretty face
She’s..not..just a pretty face
She’s..got..everything it takes
She’s..mother..of the human race
She’s..not..just a pretty face

This was fun to read again. I don't mind being treated like a road as long as I'm well laid.

i can tell she's got you by the tail. but music is suppose to do us this way just like poetry. it inspires us lifts us up from down where we were. makes us forget and makes us remember. we're in controll. we go were we want to.

OH......thanks! I try to feel good...it's hard sometimes, but "UP UP UP.....CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE!" Yes, I like Shania....There are a lot of female artists I admire, but I particularly like Shania for the power she gives women to believe in themselves. I also like Beyonce....and the list goes on! ;) Thanks for stopping by with your kind comments.

Thanks for stopping by my poem, John. Your posts is so full of the dance between males and females that ends with the father of all mankind. How intriguing.
