Tomboy

Skirt and blouse - rejecting tomboy
Is never the cringing coy:
Very early dumps every toy
And her milky but effeminate soy, 
Cheerily ever for the boyish,
Forswearing everything girlish…

A sex-change operation hopeful
And male-fun partaker in full:
Never the allergic to drinking contests
And exclusive-to-males protests:
Not when she has got her throaty bellow 
And could say A Pure Rebel’s Hello!

Cleary not a put-up ploy
The mannerisms of a tomboy:
She’s the come-back soldier from Troy: 
For a bodyguard, please her employ…

Already has she donned a thug’s haircut… 
And can effortlessly tighten the loosest nut:
From the lips of bra-avoiding tomboy
Out tumbles piratical ‘Ahoy!’
