An Announcement
"Girls have cooties,"
announced Howard Banks,
in the 4th grade.
"I don't," I replied,
so he kissed me on the cheek.
If only all minds were changed so easily.
Soccer team, one lonely locker room
Door labeled "BOYS".
Where am I, where are we?
Dear Sexism
We have strong legs
and even stronger minds
Remember that
Y chromosome is nothing
without an X
"Girls can't play,"
announced Coach Raymond,
in the 9th grade.
"I can," I replied,
pushed aside the "men"
and scored the goal.
