Quidam's View

"That Girl"

by Colleen Barry
Written 03-09-06

She doesn't wear skin tight clothes.
And you won't catch her with powder on her nose.
She doesn't own a closet full of shoes,
Or shop to rid her mind of get down, break down blues.

She lives and laughs but the only thing she can do without screwing up is breathe.

She's the type of woman every man wants
But the one no man takes the time to chase
Because her looks don't match their fairytale view of "that girl."
