you can never be too fancy for life
wearing pretty things takes away strife
you do not believe me? Ask my neighbors wife
She is as glitzy, ritzy and shiny as a brand new steak knife.
The bird who dresses up her feathers is ready to impress.
A purple unicorn with hair flowers can never overdress.
A princess with a crown and a nineteen sixties dress.
All three are ready to greet the royal highness.

dress for yourself
wear your pretty
be fashionably you
overdress
wear glamor
wear glitz
do what makes you
feel the best
dress for yourself

In Caren’s dream house there will be no rules.
No symmetry, no boring colors, no angry fools.
Everything will be cutesy, petootsie, batootsie and a mess.
There will be no reasons to overdress or bring on stress.
There will be no knocking or coughing at the door.
Just open it up and put your bare feet on my floor.
Bring me sugar or salt if you have some to spare.
Don’t be fearful if you forgot your underwear.
All of my bras are stacked behind a chair.
Where they are going to sit, go ahead and stare.
I don’t have a worry, I have no care.
In Caren’s dream house, we do what we dare.
As long as we are having fun with cartoons and paint.
You can be a sinner, a singer, a dancer, or a wanna-be-saint
But come ready to play and have fun and throw whipping cream.
This is my vision, my insight, my desire and my dream.

“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it." Vincent Van Gogh
They tell you ‘Think outside the box’
So, ponder well, pull up your socks
Avoid the danger of clichés,
Don’t overdress with mayonnaise
Explore what lies beyond the rules
Create your own poetic tools
Delve in each corner of the mind
Where inspiration you will find.
Illumination ~ thump of fist:
That’s it! Eureka! What a twist!
