Six things you should know about me

1.  
I am Jack of all trades,  
Not a jack of all trades.  
The name is Jack, or Jackie  
'Cause I fell on my head when  
I was born and my senses  
Hid behind my seashell brain  
And froze there, gender-bi.  
 
2.  
My mother dressed me up like  
Her dolls Mary & Cathy,  
Only with clits.  
Festooned my hair with ribbons,  
And white Mary Jane shoes  
With lace ankle sox to church,  
Clueless as to what it meant.  
 
3.  
I was only three when I  
Sat in a chapel pew  
Watching a pretty bride walk  
Down the aisle to a priest  
Who waited as her gown hem swayed  
While the groom stood next to him,  
And I screamed "THAT'S MY DADDY!"  
 
4.  
It was a year later  
'Till the congregation knew  
I wasn't a bastard child  
By their new son-in-law.  
I had simply wandered in,  
The wedding march went quiet  
And I hollered, overwhelmed.  
 
5.  
Is that the tomboy in me?  
I'm just the way I am,  
Not wasting time wondering.  
'Cause I've always loved climbing  
Trees with patches on my jeans,  
And my hair in the wind  
And dirt ground into my knees.  
 
6.  
I'm always spontaneous  
And very gregarious.  
Every party I've been to,  
I'll sing & laugh & hug you.  
I even love to square dance,  
And polka? Don't get me started!  
Whoa! Too late, HA, here I go!
