Poem

I Gave Them Something To Talk About


Pat's challenge


I open up the door from a trying day at work.
Every day the same with boredom I was hooked.
From somewhere deep inside emotions sprout and grow
pushing forth the earth to rise above and show.
My life needed changing, laughter a new voice.
Into my mind I drifted searching for a choice.
Time to do a makeover, who can I be now?
Oh the possibilities, someone show me how.
Back into my car cuisinng down the road
searching for identity different from my own.
Saw a neon sign, an answer to my plea
promising to change the very life of me.
Now I need new clothes nothing fits the same.
You see I am a man and everything is strange!

Benita Smith Richards
