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
