Questioning My Femininity: Tale Weaver #245

I am an enigma to my best friend,

As a woman who doesn’t like to shop.

She asked if I were really a girl,

As real women shop ’til they drop!

But, I question that ridiculous belief

That my femininity depends on a need

To go to stores and malls or flea markets

To buy shoes, clothes, hats, or beads.

I would rather wrestle a rattlesnake,

Or maybe swim in a tank full of sharks

Than spend my day trying on clothes,

From early morning until it gets dark.

So, my friend questioned whether I

Could be considered a queen or a king.

But the truth of the whole matter is this:

Going shopping just isn’t my thing.
