Miss-Represented

She is a woman Cool, calm and collected If placidly she tugs and lags Like a sheep behind a successful shepherd She is a woman Sweet, simple and soft If she has voice, low and faint Like a maid in the midst of masters She is a woman Booby, bumpy and beautiful If she lays the bed and her body Like a mother cow in the hands of milkmaid She is a woman Educated, enlightened and enthroned If it’s all practiced adroitly in the kitchen Like an eagle flying in a beautiful cage.
