the contrarian

attitudinal explanation divination inspiration

There is a woman
a few years past
maiden
proud to be
a Canadian
you might mistake
her for a
teacher
a nurse
or a librarian
though her actual
occupation
is more
veterinarian
she is so much
a contrarian
it's enough
to drive
anyone
crazy -
you want to go up
but she'll go down
you say it's dark
she'll say light
and the b***h of
it is
she is probably
right!

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

fun piece the way you presented it with such word play...yes, those people...always right, always the last word, hey, my sister!!!!!!!!!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much. I appreciate your reviews, always.

[Muse]

Don't you hate people like that? Lol I do. They have to contradict everything you say in order to have the last word. Have you ever tried using reverse psychology on people like this? Next time tell them they are right! Will they admit to being wrong? If they are a true contrarian, then YES, YES they will. Awesome wit in this writing. Well done!

[Lyn Anderson]

Nope, I won't admit, ever! Wrong? Me? Well, maybe I am, now I am confused, oh well ...:)

[Muse]

Yeah I suppose that analogy does kind of mess with your head. lol

[Goat]

Haha, this made me smile. We all know someone like this who always seems to prove you wrong but you can never prove them wrong. Great write!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, I appreciate the review. :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Lyn Anderson]

Why thank you sweetie. Only ten people read the original. I feel like the kid at the back of the class -- pick me, pick me!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Haha that happens.You are very welcome "Meow" have a great weekend Kit Kat :)

[Ghost of Jupiter]

hahaha, Nice one KL...I think I know a few people that fit this poem well...me included, or perhaps not. Love this. :P

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh, well, you are a few years shy of me and closer to maiden, anyhow. Thanks for reading. Is there a magic formula for getting read in here? Cause if there is, I haven't figured it out. :)

[Ghost of Jupiter]

I will pm ya... :P

[willweb]

I have met someone like you before although she would probably say I didn't and she'd probably be right too. This was a very good descriptive poem today. I really liked this one.

[Lyn Anderson]

Clever, and yes, I am one of people who is somewhat like someone you are sure you had met before ...

[willweb]

Something like that. But you are more like her than she was.

[Lyn Anderson]

ahh, you are a clever one. I like that.:)

[John Anderson]

Unique and interesting poem. Nice job on this one.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well it should be unique. It is me describing me. Thank you.

[ron]

Well if she is right, then she is right.

[Lyn Anderson]
