It’s Saturday again for LindaGHill’s Stream of Consciousness. This week our prompt is : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “fortune.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
I have chosen to write a an Acrostic Poem accompanied by Oh! Fortuna
Fortune
Fickle finger of fate
Or fortune what ever you
Receive from heaven
Take and use to the full
Unceasingly grab what’s given.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Every moment counts

Today Bee wants us to pick a love song to ourselves. I have chosen one from Marina and the Diamonds. It’s a great song which encourages women to be themselves, better than steriotypes.
Born in Brynmawr to a Welsh mother and Greek father, Diamandis was raised in Abergavenny and moved to London as a teenager to become a professional singer, despite having little formal musical experience. In 2009, she came to prominence upon placing second in the BBC‘s Sound of 2010. Her debut studio album, The Family Jewels (2010), incorporated indie pop and new wave musical styles. It entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 5 and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry. The album’s second single, “Hollywood“, peaked at No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart. Her follow-up record, Electra Heart (2012), was a concept album about a character of the same name which became her first No. 1 project in the UK. The album was certified gold in the US and UK, with its singles “Primadonna” and “How to Be a Heartbreaker” becoming international hits.
Look like a girl but I think like a guy
Not ladylike to behave like a slime
Easy to be sleazy when you’ve got a filthy mind
You stick to your yogurts,
I’ll stick to my apple pie
Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past thirty
Not gonna bend over and curtsy for you
Is there any possibility
You’ll quit gossiping about me?
To hide your insecurities
All you say is blah, blah
Girls they never befriend me
Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Girls, oh girls,
Wag your tails to the beat
Girls are loud, all the journos in heat
Write such good stories,
Oh, their mothers must be proud
Making money off your insecurity and doubt
Girls are not meant to fight dirty
Never look a day past thirty
Not gonna bend over and curtsy for you
Is there any possibility
You’ll quit gossiping about me?
To hide your insecurities
All you say is blah, blah
Girls they never befriend me
Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
All they say is na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
I feel I’ve been riding in a fast car
Burning dirty gas
Won’t get you that far
I feel I’ve been riding up the wrong path
But I’m gonna make sure I get the last laugh
Is there any possibility
You’ll quit gossiping about me?
To hide your insecurities
All you say is blah, blah
Girls they never befriend me
Cause I fall asleep when they speak
Of all the calories they eat
All they say is na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na

Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
