an interrupter of dastardly schemes
not a scream queen, not the whipped cream
on the strawberries, nor chicken fricasse
I want to be regal, not a recipe
not a bald Eagle
a prima ballerina or heard not seen,
no rustic cavalier getting by from year to year
self indulgently; don't wanna go to sea
don't wanna turn a key, I wanna be free
but not from God
Jill with the magic beans but keeping the cow
I've grown fond of her somehow
I want to believe in magic but want to never
stop traffic
to live in a cottage and eat my pottage and
dream my dreams and leave the rest of the nonsense
alone I just want to be HOME.
