Mostly I’m Just Me

ST 17 round 1
Sometimes I’m just a grandma, sometimes a mom and wife
I live in north Virginia; and have for most my life
Sometimes I’ve been a teacher, in a college or in school
Sometimes I’m a face painting clown, but I am no ones fool
Sometimes I am an artist, I work with paint and clay
I’m always starting new things; it’s how I fill my day
These days I’m into resin, But I’m certain you’ll agree
No matter what I get up to- mostly I’m just me
Mostly I’m just me!
Mostly I’m just me!
I start more than I finish, true
But mostly I’m just me!
I used to be a soldier, learned how to shoot a gun
Was stationed off in Germany, and had a lot of fun
Sometimes I’ve been a lady in a castle on the Rhine
In fancy dresses which I’ve made
While having a great time
Sometimes I am an actress, performing on a stage
You might have seen me on TV, or else a YouTube page.
I’ve also worked with make up, I do FX you see
I’ve made and been a zombie- but mostly I’m just me
Mostly I’m just me!
Mostly I’m just me!
I’ve done a lot of things so far
But mostly I’m just me!
Mostly I’m just me!
Mostly I’m just me!
It’s nice to meet you- I’m JoAnn
And mostly I’m just me!
