introvert / extravert
which one are you? tell me!
I’ve got hugs and kisses frying on the grill
slaving all day over a lifetime’s meal
and you may not even show up for supper

Joan of Arc or budding Mata Hari?
I have ways of making you laugh you know
didn’t I see you once in an old war movie?
a domineering mistress of the Cupid SS
interrogating a love starved prisoner

happy housewife / global politician
which way will you go? enlighten me!
whether to force your ballot
or send you packing to distant memory
seems never an end to this dilemma
