Not Telling

(On being asked for bio notes on The Real Me)

Rosemary Nissen-Wade refuses absolutely 
to tell you the many illegal and immoral
acts of her long life. (The fattening you can 
see – though she vets her public photos.)

You must know? Oh alright – Rosemary’s 
a pirate: long red hair, boots to thighs, 
a mean hand with a cutlass. (Yes. Really.)

At Words Count in 'imaginary garden with real toads' we are asked to write our real bio in 50 words or less.

    LOVE! Didn't write of it today, but as you may know, I too am part pirate. :)
    This is, indeed, a hoot. As are you, always. Cackling with delight.

    Rosemary sounds rad as hell! (Pardon the language, though if you're a pirate, I'm sure you've heard worse.) ;)

    Loved this very much.
