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!
