Poor White Trash

Some say
 they were pure white trash
 and the rich took a glancing pass
 as we walked the streets bared a....
But not one of us really cared
 ignoring their well to do stares.

As kids, we all laughed and danced
 annoying the better dismay glance.

Mama took us by the hand
 and the teens acted as if they were part of a grunge band
and such disarray kept us always on display
 as we happily danced away.

Some watcher bees said we must live in forest trees
 having no iota of couth when we sneezed
but still, we were happily unawares and that's the truth
 pure white trash never needed things for worth's proof.
