Tomboy

I'm a tomboy at heart.
                              My mom said I was from the start.
                                Blue jeans made me what I am.
                               Boys would say are you a ma me.
                              Playing with dolls wasn't my game.
                            Trucks,cars is where I had no shame.
                     When I got married underneath my dress I wore.
                          A pair of blue jeans I bought at the store.
                                                    Teresa Skyles

LOL Such a cute poem, Teresa. I was the same way -- never played with dolls and grew up playing with boys. Wishing you success in Nette's contest! Love, Carolyn

hey, is that true, about jeans being under your dress?? HMMM. I was a tomboy too, but I just enjoyed kick ball and other sports, not the trucks and cars! Hope you do well in the contest. Luv, Andrea
