Not Norwegian

What others say

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

I’m not white or black,

I’m light,

now get it right,

people tryin’ to stir up a dumb fight!

Stop your foolish sport,

I’m not short,

I’m fun size,

now tell me no lies,

in false guise,

because, my heart, I prize.

I’m not loud,

or overly proud,

I’m Puerto Rican,

not Norwegian!
