a lil girl

there was once a lil girl,
who could never do as she was told,
and loved it best to be as contrary,
to what was expected of her.

she loved to read all night thru,
esp when she was told NO.

she loved to end her lines with a squiggle,
her songs with a warble,
and her dances with a wiggle...
go figure..!

and loved to tell NO, just when she meant YES,
esp to people, who ought to have known her better.

but she ran into trouble, when life caught upto her.
people gave her what they thought she said she wanted
and never understood her.

there was only one lil problem,
she ever so remained the lil girl,
who could never do as she was told.
