I think she swears too hard. The bad habits she is trying to deny too much. I think her worse bad habit is trying to think she is perfect. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

I'm not a tart
and never fart
and I don't lie
though pigs might fly
I'm just like you
a lady too

Sheesh...there aren't many of us left!!

A picture-perfect tongue-in-cheek little piece! Good luck in the contest, I expect you'll do very, very well (which will suggest that many other 'ladies' have come out of the woodwork to vote ;-))
Cheers
Paula

Oooh, this was one of yours! Congrats on your win, girl! Well-deserved, and good on you for being a 'flag-bearer' of sorts for women who are, well, HUMAN!!!
Cheers

Excellent!

A beautiful capture of hope and promise!

But most of all it the possible contradiction of how we present ourselves and how we are perceived.

We shall not shine light upon the demons that once existed within (or maybe still exist).

Excellent Poem! The poem flowed and connected well. The author's words are creative and descriptive. The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.

I love the hat concealing the eyes! It makes it so much easier to lie! Although this poem does not bear your name, it certainly bears your hallmark! Part of being a lady is, of course, concealing all of the mundane and basic aspects of living! Getting married to one can, however, be quite a shock as the ghastly truth is revealed!

As I said.... I'm a lady! - aren't we all in our minds and out the side of our mouths. Absolutely loved this a virtual 6 because I got such a chuckle out of it and I thank for this pleasurable read this morning and wish you luck - Dinah

Haha yep me too and I can do a Coke burp that rivals some of the best. I farted like a trooper when I was pregnant with my second kid and I can lie convincingly through my teeth.
Like now. LOL
I'm kidding...or am I? Loved this post and good luck in the contest with your entry...
All the cleverly spun BS should blind side a few...and after all who is NOT going to vote for an absolute lady through and through? I'm onto you...but I can stay tight lipped for the sisterhood. Mum's the word right? Ssssshh! Well spu...oops I mean done.
Cheers P

Hi P :) I love your review, you crease me up! Any pretence of decorum goes out the window when you're pregnant doesn't it?! Glad you caught my sarcasm in this poem, I think it went over some people's heads though! Kindest regards as always... :)

This is a great twist on this contest prompt! Love the sassy, tongue-in-cheek tone. Love the way you take your time getting the point across, even tho it's a short poem, & the entire scenario is well painted. Thanks for sharing & good luck in the contest.
