The Golden Girl

The Golden Girl as named by Vienna (thanks girl) Appointments here appointments there Rushing round yet getting nowhere. I would love the time to stop and stare At the golden daffodils waving in the air Strong and tall, basking in the sun Nothing to worry about, having daffodil fun. I am going to take the time to see, The beauty that’s surrounding me. The golden trumpets of daffs in the sun I am going to learn the names of some. My little car was a Burnt Gold Daf My first car Limerick raised a laugh To Vienna that named me the Golden Girl I am going to stand and let my trumpet twirl I thank you for the name suggested, I thought about it and inwardly digested. The Golden Girl I am going to be From now on that Golden Girl is me. Follow the sun and enjoy life while I can Stop and stare at every gorgeous man Look but don’t touch while I can. The golden sun sets every day None know how much time we have to play. So take the time to stand and stare At gorgeous things everywhere Every day try to fulfil a dream You never know when you may roll in the stream This is inspired from my limerick " My First Car" if you did not read it you will not understand the last line here.

Her essence shines from deep within. This Golden Girl that makes me grin. With a heart of tender petals. From daffodils she wears like medals. The moon and stars now know her name. The night shines bright from her golden flame.

It's great to be inspired by a name such as that one. When I had my convertible Eclipse, I had andie55 on the license plate. I felt on top of the world, and when I had to trade her in for a newer and plainer car, I let that special name on my license plate die with the car. I am not feeling like andie55 anymore. Names really can encourage us so enjoy your golden name, sweetie!! Luv, Andrea

i was in savannah walking without a car when i discovered the beauty of the world. or Gods world. i did not notice th dafodils untill i came home. but all the other flowers i learned they did roam. flowers i had not seen. with a car i would not dream. but given to me a curse became a theme. and i saw the beauty of Gods dream.

"Golden girl"? Vienna gave you an appropriate name that sounds better than "Dandy Mandy". This is another fine write with entertaining words and rhyme.
