I do like the way you handled the concept right to the last line. Read mine - SUFFICIENCY - Adeline

You need to play lotto and possibly win, then chew on that plum and sip on that gin, date those fine ladies whom may too have been re'nvented and your place in that world would be cemented.

To accept and be ones true self is never bizarre, but the notion of moving down south maybe taking things just a bit too far. Especially when slovenly rhymes so close with southernly – it’s a sign. A terrific and delightful poem.

yeah..might get boring after a while..need a bit of ummph to keep u alive! Great poem! SG xo
