Sign of Cancer

My sign is Cancer, born in July
Than to be mean, I'd rather die.
Loving and caring,
Friendly and sharing,
I can't brag any more, I'm too shy.



For Zodiac contest

Witty ending. Yes. That's got it, I think. I have known a few. Thanks for your comments! Regards, Gerard.

Joyce, we share the same sign and some of the same qualities as well. Sometimes we Cancers can be too sensitive, at least that is among my negative qualities. But friendly and loving, absolutely. Having been on stage performing since I was 4, I was never shy in that regard but sometimes with interpersonal communications when entering a room filled with strangers. Francine is a Moon Child as well! Good luck in the contest, Joyce! Love, Carolyn
