Fascinate
Her goal every day
To bewitch
And to charm
Effortlessly she would float
As though she had wings

Untamed as she was
People were fascinated
With her behavior
She, a spirited woman
Who created her own rules

Eyes
Rolled twice
About face
FORWARD MARCH, now
We don’t tolerate
That TYPE of behavior
Young lady, you know better
Than to lick all the chocolate
From the raisin and peanut candies
And then put them back in the covered dish

Her
Mother
Always said
Fancy dresses
And the handsome guys
Were for the other girls
You know, the ATTRACTIVE ones
Not the HIDEOUSLY fat ones
These words just drove them further apart
After all, food didn’t care about looks

The older she got
OPINIONS meant less and less
She turned a deaf ear
Except to those who knew that
MONEY talks and bullshit walks
©2019 Annette Rochelle Aben
She commands the crowd
Blending more bounce to the ounce
With a golden voice
She performs those risqué tunes
Shaking her ample booty
