On the Roads to Dreamland

There isn't just one road.
That's what I learned.
If you bear a heavy load
Use protection. Don't get burned.

Writing like a woman is hard.
Writing as a woman is easy.
I won't play the gender card.
Nor will I affect a tone that's breezy.

I have brothers four
And sisters and aunts galore
But I won't be a bore
And I won't close the door.

Now it's your turn to lower the shade
To an orange thought in a yellow glade.
