Some Day

'Some day' by Joanne, age six

Some day I will be a teenager.

Some day I will be a ballerina.

Some day I will be a mother and I will have some babys.

Some day I will be a grandmother.

Some day I will be a monkey.

The End.

'Some day' by Joanne, age thirty-two

Some day, I will be an independent woman, complete with house, car and RRSPs.

Some day, I will hope to still be desirable - an aging, commodified 'Cosmo' cunt.

Some day, I will be a big fat academic success – a white woman who has built her career on the ‘study’ of poor women of colour.

Some day, I might compete with these same women who poach all the men as mail-order-brides, undermining the chances at ‘love’ for an outspoken bitch like me.

Some day, I might remember what it feels like to be regarded as human and to regard others as such.

Some day, if I'm lucky, I will be a monkey.

The End.

Deleting comments? Well, that's OK I guess, it's your place after all. Hey! Did you see that I'm running for Alderman in Ward 4? http://www.calgaryward4.com

Better hope I don't win lest folks like you have to justify your positions before you get city funding... No more free rides! No more erring on the side of socialism...

oh yeah, Calgary - home to socialism.

leave less moronic comments and they may not be deleted.

lay off the crack, dick.

Ouch!!! lol

Seem to have hit a nerve or two there...

I know of 4 or 5 conservatives that are contesting the wards of socialist leaning Aldermen and, by the looks of it, public support (based on my own door knocking) is on our side. People are tired of the "bread and circus" being provided by the current council. Tag-a-bag, curb-side recycling charges, the homeless problem that never seems to get solved, the Kyoto bunk that our reps have bought-into, etc, etc...

From here on in you're going to have to work harder to convince the taxpayers to give you their votes and money...
