I'm classic cars and country music,

thrift stores and Goodwill,

I love high heels and dresses,

but so soon i get my fill,

then it's on with an old t-shirt,

and those loose pants that fit the bill

I'm a Catholic and I'm Gothic,

and no, I don't shoot up schools,

I stitch, draw, write and read,

and have no time for fools,

i love my family, cat and friends,

Roses, squirrels and Christmas,

and I am always on the mend.

Music soothes me on the inside,

as do my faith and pride,

in my heritage-it's where I came from,

Italian (on my mother's side),

I'm Independent cos your politics

keep trying to put me in a box,

But you'll never find me all tied up,

by your Democrat/Republican locks.

I can't stand racists, bigots or homophobes,

I have no time for such hate,

and keep your booze, your pills and your potions,

to these things I just can't relate.

I'm teddy bears and classic films,

cats, rats, bats and night,

I always question authority,

and believe in wrong and right,

I'm not afraid of spiders,

and can take my trash out just fine,

I don't believe in barefoot and pregnant,

but don't want to keep his balls as mine.

Gargoyles, fairies and angels,

antiques and all the art I can find,

are what you'll see all around me,

and a man with an intelligent mind,

Literature, good food and good parties,

Nature walks, the moon and the quiet,

50's dresses, all makeup and jewelry,

and whoever heard the word "diet"?

I like my curves and don't plan on starving,

just to be some designer's ideal,

keep your botox, your labels, your perfection,

I'm natural and my boobs are for real,

Chocolate, good sex and fine romance,

are all better when you are in love,

Humility, prayer and real insight,

get you closer to the heaven's above.

I'm poetry, passion and caring,

a tomboy, a free spirit, a child,

though I'd rather be an angel,

my thoughts are sometimes still wild,

I thank God every night for my blessings,

and the gifts that come with each day,

Come up and sit here beside me,

As friends we can journey this way.
