They say you are ugly
Yes! My love that's what they see
but within you I see beauty
Your head is too big
but but they don't know
wisdom made it full
wise girls are more beautiful
they inwardly glow
Your breastless chests
characteristic of males
but we learnt in tales
that courage is masculine
On beauty's list
courage rules the rest
Aren't your
hipless thighs
and bony butts masculine too?
males are strong
for strong girls African boys long
Your thick lips speak no lies
Your mouse ears do not eavesdrop
Your bulging eyes
Sees not through wallswalls
Your attitude
makes up pulchritude
I love your looks
My Love, you're beautiful
