Yours Truly

I was born on March 1st 1953. I was the only male newborn in that nursery. I also have four younger sisters in my family. An older or younger brother wasn't in the cards for me. From my very moment of birth women have greatly influenced me, be they mother, lover, sibling, friend or family. I'm a straight shootin male and I've never been in jail and I enjoy speaking and writing in poetic verse everything from my grocery shopping list to how my life is a living curse. In addition to writing and speaking in rhyme I dress in black all the time but that shouldn't reflect upon my personality. I can be quite the social butterfly if such a lifestyle were chosen by I but for the most part I live a life very solitary. I have a thirst for knowledge but spent very little time in college. Had I stuck it out though I'd have many a degree in the areas of science, nature & wildlife as well as human psychology. The origins of the universe also fascinates me. It is the ultimate unsolved case. An ongoing mystery. Nothing ever gets to me cept the injustices of humanity and also of course personal tragedy. Great wilderness survival skills are possessed by I. Drop me naked in the middle of nowhere and I'll still survive. In fact, that's how I plan to retire. I have little value for money. I only use it to live in society, but my last days will be spent deep in the woods by my campfire. What else can I say about yours truly? I'm open for questions so please feel free. For Amy Greens Contest - This is my entry.

ps I too have four sisters. But I guess being a male, it can affect you differently! and I was reverse of you. Oldest of five instead of youngest.
