Mostly I wear sensible shoes
Conservative jewelry is what I choose.
My favorite shade of lipstick is light bronze.
Soft rock is the station where my radio belongs.
My life is khaki,
But I dream in “Piccadilly Pink”
I wear slips under questionable skirts,
“Oh rats” is the extent of my curse,
I watch 60 Minutes on Sunday nights;
Vanilla ice cream is my delight.
My life is khaki,
But I dream in “Cherries Jubilee”
I like to paint my toenails red,
I sing dirty songs in my head,
I fantasize about raunchy tattoos,
“Wild Child” inked above my stiletto shoes.
My life is khaki,
But I dream in “I’m Not Really a Waitress” red.
Love this! I can relate because my life is definitely khaki!
Thanks, Mari. Fun poem.
