Okay, here it is - as I'm in a feisty mood today. My life is not political correctness. The stories of my life are not political correctness. Wanting to tell those stories & finding an outlet to do so, is not political correctness gone mad. Don't come at me with that one either.
NEED SOME POETRY!!!
