~In a Nut's Shell

I child proofed my house,

somehow 5 got in.

12 years married, not living in sin.

I have a friend that's an Emo Nun,

I collect coins and I don't own a gun.

I always have to carry a comb,

I'm a CNA in a new nursing home.

If nobody else will do it, they know I will.

I was born in Ohio,

but now I live in Knoxville.

I am a writer, somehow I think you knew.

I have a red car and one is blue.

My writing spirit sets me free,

in a nut's shell, this is me.
