CATASTROPHE
Sheβs not a bad girl, not really.
True, sheβs defiant. Unruly.
Arenβt they all at that age?
Pushing the corners of
their little envelopes simply because
girls just want to have fun.
No, sheβs not a bad girl.
Mischievous, naughty, uncontrollable.
But look at that adorable face.
How can anyone stay mad?
Sheβs not a bad girl.
Unrepentant and willful
but for heavenβs sake;
It was only a plant!
