Sycophancy
SYCOPHANCY
Miss Sweet, a fine lady’s nickname,
was a healthy woman.
Miss Sweet was God sent.
Ortha Mae was her daughter.
She was refinement to her mother.
Miss Sweet loved gospel music.
Miss Sweet was a beautiful individual.
Miss Sweet was always nice and real.
Her obesity told about her sweet tooth.
The proof is that she always had a cake baked for us after school.
She stood about five-nine.
She wore her black dresses most of the time.
She was well rounded.
Miss Sweet…
