I Am Woman Hear Me Roar

Missing image

 

 

~~~~~

I’m probably the only girl
to ever make out
while listening to the Watergate tapes
but me and Bobby were politically
engorged at the time

And it was my nature
to be right on time
with the times
you know


And when I had a Helen Reddy
pussy pride kinda moment
and hung my bra in the back window
of the FHA bus
on the way home from the State Fair
I lost my right to be a
Future Homemaker of America

Damn, and I could have used
some Betty Crocker advice too


But it was that time
between the roar of a GTO
pumpin’ Free Bird from its 8 trac speakers
and the bump and the hustle of the Disco Fever
shakin’ my hips in the left direction
that defined my mind at the time

So I went to college
lookin’ to join the revolution ...


but I found Marvin Gaye instead

    lolol, had to smile at Guy's comment and your reply . I liked this, liked the voice... from the Helen Reddy (I'm old enough to remember her, lol).. "I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore", to Marvin Gaye at the end. There is no ignoring this poem either. Pure "pussy-pride" and hip-shakin'

    You took me on a great allround trip from yesterday to today (or is it still yesterday)? I also liked the side-tracking that took place here...oh, well, priorities, priorities.

    I so enjoyed this poem. Thank you for sharing it with us in the contest. (I will be in Arkansas in December)!!

    lololol!

    where was that 'pussy pride' when we met at MickeyDee's?

    though, for some reason i feel a bit envious for that, being that i recently heard that only men suffer 'penis envy.' lol. engorged. indeed.

    but, as a Pontius Pilate wannabe, i will wash my hands of this, and snicker in my cups.

    good one, you

    thanks mucho for this

      Well, I could've burned my bra under the golden arches for you, but I didn't think you wanted to spend the night in the Baxter County jail with me Besides, pussy pride ain't the same as pecker pride ya know

      Thanks Guy
