April 19 Me, The Condensed Version
Me, the Condensed Version

Judi, Judi, Judi,
enthusiastic, energetic, enduring.
Kids, watermelon, horses and basketball
top my list of likes
and I can't give or get enough love.
I have a streak of Jesus freak in me
but I have mellowed over the decades.

Cancer and snakes creep me out,
I've had a personal encounter with the first,
the second is just in my head.
I still dream of adventure and romance
and often forget this old body
can't always keep up with my teenage brain.

I call the Redwood Empire my home
where I can be found working or playing.
And yes, I have been known to tinker with words.
