In My Next Life

~ thereluctantpoet

Come and read Claudia’s fun piece – “In My Next Life”

Humoring the Goddess

I will cook like Bobby Flay, dance like Ginger Rogers, and chat like Ellen DeGeneres. I will work out, travel around the world, and be a best selling writer.

And after I exhausted myself

Doing everything I used to love,

No longer on the rack,

I went to sleep, long and deep.

(Not before gorging on a midnight snack)
