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.
