Between by Nadine Sellers

Too old to rant      too young to complain      Stuck between all and any      Neither dwarf nor weedy      too short for long skirts      too short for short skirts      can't say fine - dare not say fat      too plump for short sleeves      too thin for mumus      Not too hairy - not too bald      long gone pretty - good bye beauty      somewhere 'tween bare feet      and flared bunions      too late for falsies      too soon for false teeth      Never dumb - nor too clever      too brave to sit on fence      too lame to sit on bench      conservatives or commies      capitalists or dummies?      too poor to fit - too rich to cheat      all I know is - it's a      long time tween payday      shorter still for bills to pay      neither cold - nor hot      too dry for humor - too wet for lovers      somedays dull - others bright      too much shade for some      way too much sun for me      too fast to get caught      too slow to catch up      my time's bound to arrive      somewhere between my betweens
