Loreen Parke Poet Rhyme

Motown - My Home Town

My name is Loreen Parke and I’m from  Detroit City.  
I’m quick.    My Mom calls me   ‘Slick’     
My  friends say I’m Witty.   
No wants.  No warrants.  No priors. 
No  dirty deals.  Strictly cash buyers.  
I’m  a very busy woman with no time to waste. 
I’ve got  Big Dreams,  High Hopes  &  Expensive Taste.   
Think slow. Talk fast.  
My connections are tight.
My options  are vast.    
Just  like the ‘Kid’    I’ve  got  my  ‘ghetto pass.’     
I grew up here.  This is my home town. 
These are the blocks that I’ve been around.
Don’t think you can show up and start changing the rules on my play ground. 
That won't fly. The  bottom of the  Detroit River is where you’ll be found. 
This is Detroit. The Motor City. The One and Only Motown.
This is where I grew up. This is my Home Town.
