OctPoWriMo 2014: Day 9


That Kind of Girl

Have you heard the word?
They're talking about her all over town
They say that Wanda is that kind of girl
She's that tenacious kind of girl

Wanda will keep on keeping on
She's that stubborn kind of girl
She'll stay the course even after she's been berated and belittled
And if you ask her why, she'll tell you:

"Because--just because."

Have you ever heard of anything so stubborn
As to continue doing what you've been told is a waste of time?
It's not that she's got that thick a skin
You can make her feel like giving in

But she's got willpower

She's audacious--simply audacious!

~Wanda Psycho~

    1. Thank you. I don't mind writing dark stuff, but I do like to write cheerier things sometimes too. :-)

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
