She liked to wear long earrings
The ones that danced about her face
Moving about keeping up with her pace
The long coloured feathers she wore
She surely adored, she caught a dream
With a smile in-between, who could ask for more!
Those long coloured beads no one could read
Small glass balls or even seeds
Gold danglers she wore fit for a queen
Matching her smile like the sun’s gleam
Her favourite were her silver hoops
Like the moon it showed up in loops
When she wore it the night surely drooped!

When are danglers
called anglers
And what are they fishing for?
Hoping for a bite
or a swallow--
Some form or function
feast or frolic
of oral delight.

DIAMOND JUBILATION
I’ll be dripping with diamonds today.
They’ll parade proudly on my chest.
For the proliferation of the best day
Spent in honor of my parent’s crest.
Small sparklers a joyous sampling,
Little butterflies latent potentiality —
Breaking the sound barrier of reality
In their quiet splendiferous offing.
The little danglers will spread their wings
Sailing across the turquoise sea
The expanse and depth of its glory —
This cheerful celebration means much to me.
The jubilation of precious jewels.
Twins to others — but to themselves —
Sixty years of pulling together the cool
lifetime of love and happiness like no other.

Shimmery “Sheemar” loves gleaming glitter.
It grabs my attention, fashion is energy emitter!
Stilettos, Gladiator, Boots or Ballerina, I need them all for a glorious glide.
Tik Tok, Tik Tok – they give a lovely stride!
Dungaree, Sheaths, Jeans, Corset or Ball gowns!
Fashion is what gives comfort in walking around!
Pastels, Nudes, Matts and Gloss – funky shades brighten up my smile!
Tattoos, Braids, Highlights, Nose rings, Danglers and Studs enhance my style!
All my accessories keep me high, they keep me glad - every little while!
Extemporaneous and Exultant!
Fashion is my passion, it perks me up and grants merriment!
"It's indeed a beautiful bestowment!"

Our Land used to be peaceful and fertile
Then was our flag rich in white and yoked in green
Thus did the Bees play with the Cows without stings
Like brothers would their sisters without strings
and soaked our children with milk and honey
Our People used to be lovely and warm
Young men and women moved freely with uncovered danglers
We were naked but not nude nor ashamed
Though unrefined yet not rude nor untamed
Moderately burdened by the bliss of our ignorance
Then came the white men
We tasted of their Eden fruit and our eyes opened
Alas, we saw the greener lawn on the other side
Little by little loyalty began to drift and slide
We drove them away too early out of greed
So, your fathers arose to save the day
Here we are worse off than when we first began
They being keen to lead and impatient to learn
Determined to achieve the lusts they yearn
set on a senseless sail amidst the fog
Our land is now loathsome and sterile
Playgrounds invaded by mosquitoes and church rats
daily drowning our children in their pool of blood
A body’s priceless price for a visionless head
Take this message to your fathers that I said
They've spoilt everything.
