Wild Thing

It’s not that I didn’t want 
to be a wild thing,
It’s not that I didn’t want
to make his heart sing,

but I was just too young 
in 1966, 
still playing Barbie dolls
who were homeless

and lived with trolls,
and Midge One-Of-Two
transitioned into Ken
because Barbie needed him

to make everything groovy~
like flower power,
bell-bottom jeans
and my first transistor radio.

Inspired by “Wild Thing” as sung by The Troggs
