I Am Not a Whore

I am not my grammar My English may be poor But I am a straight talker, woman of my word My speech conveys much meaning and wisdom I do not mispronounce words, I put a St Lucian twist on them I like to drink, dance and smoke I love men but I am not a whore Not your whore Your woman friend perhaps But I am no scarlet woman I am not my grammar or lack thereof English is a medium of communication And I have no problems getting my message across I have no shame coz my grand-parents raised me with dignity I work hard and pay my way through life I like to look good and take care of myself But I am not my hair, my nails, my perfume My grammar And I am certainly not a whore (not your whore) There is more to me than meets the eye I am not a whore
