Straight- Unstraight

 

I am a straight woman

With very unstraight ways

I break your norms at will

And merrily dance away.

 

You frown, you shout, you scold

Give me a few tight slaps

I smile at you again

And refuse to come back.

 

I am your problem child

One that her own way flees

And as you watch aghast

I laugh and laugh in glee.

 

You grow serious in revenge

Destroy my house and prop

I falter, true, yet hold on

I refuse to cry or drop.

 

And thus, our game goes on

Day in and day out

Step to counter step

Neither ready for rout.
