Natalie The Rogue Rhymer Poet Rhyme

The Lighter Side of Me

I’m not much into phonies 
And I love to play the ponies
I spend too much shoppin’
And do too less moppin’

I love my amazing hubby
My fantastic cat, Chubby
Starbuck’s Passion Iced Tea
That trashy Reality TV
My famed DVR recorder
Though not exactly in that order!

I am crazy about my fitness classes
And adorable old men who make passes
'Experts' say I have ADD, but I don’t agree
The reasons…Wow look, a hickory tree!!!***

I fancy fine champagne and microbrew beer
When the Broncos are on, you’ll hear me cheer
Well, good friends, alas, my departing…
Why, you ask?  Big Brother is starting!!!


***Warning:  If you ‘get’ this, you just might have ADD :)
