You are never prepared for her!
A chapter in the book Going In Through The Out-The Doors
Untamed Spirit!!!!
by Mike K2
"Oh, My God!" There she goes again. She must get her energy from the Devil's den! "Great Copperheads and dogs from Hades!" With her there isn't a moment of peace made for me! She'll be fine, with her doll having some play tea. I'll find her two hours later sitting in the field setting cotton fluffs free. Damn if she didn't have to show me what was on the end or her little rake. So proud, she was, taking the life out of me... "A coiled up black snake!" She looked so beautiful, finely dressed for church with ribbons in her pristinely combed hair. "My dear? Where are your ribbons?" Now covered in mud, she decided who needed them more was the hog over there! My husband is proud of the life he provided me, as he always finds his way into the field. I'll consider him a true man when he gives me a break and finds the time with his daughter to deal! I know she will one day be a lady and take a nice gentleman's hand. I bet it will be just a short while, until he finds just what a spirited woman he did land! |
This poem is designed to read exactly as it is. A short simple exclamation, going into these run on excited stanzas, much like a woman who has just dealt with such a child! My intention with the rhyme is not exactly to find perfect matches in every case, but one that continued the flow without giving up their meaning.

This photograph came from my print file of an unreleased and incomplete article, "Reliving History... A hobby, A Pursuit, A Lifetime." This was taken at Fort Frederick State Park in Maryland who once a year, hosts reenactments for the French and Indian War, The Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Various reenactment groups get together and set up camps. Being more then just a bunch of guys pretending to shoot at each other. Many bring family and set up camp, demonstrating also the life and traditions of their era. They also have live cannon firing demonstrations.
For the photograph, "This is not a photograph of a reenactment, but an actual battle;- the oldest one. Young Shannon tests the readiness and capabilities of her mother Jeanine Joyce. Her husband serves with the 13th Virginia Company." I was photographing a cannon when I heard this squeal followed by, "Oh! My God!" if you think chasing after your daughter is bad, imagine doing it in petticoats and bodices. I had to be a gunslinger to capture this one.
