Let Us Not Generalize People Folks
I accommodate everyone I see, because I grew up in a small town.
It is what we do, or so I thought because my mother told us we did.
Until I met others who did not know what I was talking about.
Why are you so accommodating?
He asked me. What makes you this way?
He shook his head ‘no’
when I explained that all people in small towns do this.
When he told me he grew up in a small town, I was out of words.
I would have never guessed it; for I truly thought we were all the same.
Just one more misconception to put into
my let’s not generalize people files.
I have six million and forty-two of them, so you would think I could learn.
