Eye Candy

You hear what men say, you hear it all the time How you look so good, how you look so fine But you never were someone who let that go to your head You never let the sweet talk let you be easily misled You always thought of yourself as being more than eye candy There was so much more to you than just that You had a gear eccentric mind, around tools you were real handy You were that girl who wore the engineer hat All that most men saw was a genetic anomaly What was alien to them, you were your own Ellen Ripley There were a few who respected you, appreciated your vast intellect They marveled at the things you knew, you were a bona fide scientist You always thought of yourself as being more than eye candy There was much, much more to you than just that You had a beautiful cerebral mind, around a lab you were real handy And every professor deferred to sit until you sat A tribute to my beloved sister Shangaleza

Ty, Illustrious One. I wrote this honoring my sister. She is sooo smart and good looking. Whew. She has the same combo as you, my dear friend. Much love to you.
