Deborah DavisHello, all my Poetic People! Thanks for dropping in on my Poetry Page. Here's just a FEW of the things that go through my mind from time to time. I've been writing since I was in Elementary School. I wish I still had the one about clowns that my mom found in the atic, but I hope you'll enjoy some of my more recent stuff!....Here goes................

"NEVER LET `EM SEE YOU SWEAT"

(This poem was inspired by something Nancy Wilson said to me)

Push 'Em Up When They're Hanging,
Strap It In When It's Loose
Dust It Off If It's Dirty
Bartender, Bring Me My Juice

Wear A Smile, All The While
There's A Knife In Your Heart
Drink A Bottle Full Of Pepto
When All You Need
Is Just To Fart

Make The Ladies Want To Be You
Make The Men, Dream Of What They Could Get
Girl You Better Pull Yourself Together
And Never Let 'Em See You Sweat

If You Don't Have The Time To Shower
Take a P.T.A. Instead
Missed Your Appointment At The Hairdresser
Put Some Gel Up In That Head

You're So Tired That You Forget The Words
Well, You Better Scat The Blues
Get On That Stage, No Matter What
You Have Got To Pay Your Dues

Sing Your Ass Off For A Dollar
Or 50 cents And A Dollar Bet
But If You Want To Be A Diva
Never Let Them See You Sweat

So Push It Up Girl
Strap It In, Dust It Off, And Wear A Smile
If You Can Hold Out Long Enough
If You Can Travel Many Miles

I Can't Say What Your Reward Will Be
Along The Way, You Might Forget
But The One Thing You'll Remember
I NEVER LET 'EM SEE ME SWEAT
