Inside the Lines
Catherine Quigg
Sometimes I colored inside the lines,
And didn't do the page
All in black,
Or blue,
Or green,
Sometimes I did what mother said,
Made Ken give Barbie
A ride in the car
Not screw her all night
In the backseat.
Sometimes I spoke in politer tones,
Only when spoken to,
Lied because it was
The civilized
thing to do.
Sometimes I colored inside the lines.
Then I gave up coloring books.
