Wonder woman





am no warrior tiara princess 


hand to hand combat is not my style
no lasso of truth girths my tiny waist

much less, indestructible bracelets,
super human stamina, maybe when

i juggle cooking, cleaning, laundry,
while paying bills, taking care of hearth

i am no wonder woman poster

skimpy ambitions are not for me,
red-knee boots, perfect for shoveling snow

tactical warfare is not my wont,
cunning and confidence, smarter way to be

gifted tongue i save, to whisper words
praise and joy, brave and true voice


the woman of your wonder,
that I strive to be

  1. Any woman who juggles all that IS a wonder woman! We all are as far as I'm concerned!

  13. I always have great admiration and respect for all the wonder women of the house.They work without fanfare and money for 24 hrs a day! And they are supposed to be the weaker sex!

  24. I could have hi-lighted the whole thing and reposted here as I enjoyed the whole thing. You are a super-woman but your tiara is invisible! :)

    I posted too late to link, but you might enjoy this adult comic... It surprised me that I am enjoying it...
