Damn I forgot our double
X chromosome has Nappy hair.
Damn the times we live in!
Damn I forgot we gave more attention.
To those double X chromosome
Who do not have the same
Pigmentation as us,
That made ours feel insecure.
So, they secured a beanie,
To secure our attention
Finally, they caught our attention.
But we had to pay for it.
We complain about that.
But we forget those beanies are not free.
Even if they have the beanie.
We still do not appreciate them.
They become pedestrians at night.
We then pay them more attention.
For providing services that shame them
To raise those very same kids
Who have what is hanging as us?
Damn our nappy hair.
It is so sad beanies.
Are no longer worn.
To shield ourselves from the cold
Their worn to shield our insecure.

To Your Taste
Ketchup or mustard a squirt of each, or blended, French fries to your taste A fun poem with the 5-7-5 format. Perhaps you prefer Ranch dressing, or plain fries...try mixing a dot of mustard with ketchup. Better yet, buy Portland Organic Ketchup. You can eat it with a spoon! Ketchup from Portlandia. 😁
