They Are Kind of Long In the Teeth
Weren’t they old belly dancers? Asked my crass cousin.
They are cheap too, cheaper than a baker’s dozen.
I did not like the way she spoke of the queens of the shrooms.
I had encouraged them to move, coaxing them to balloon.
They are a bit hefty, right? A mean old guy guessed.
They are fancy women, and very suitably well-dressed.
Aren’t they kind of long-in-the-teeth asked my cousin Keith.
What is wrong with these people? I yelled “Good grief!”
Let’s give them a chance, they are a mighty three.
They are different than others, which seems great to me.
They have stories to tell, original songs, dances and plays.
Can we please give them a chance? I asked my cousin Maize.
