She scours the globe

With a culturally diverse appetite
                    
                              Her lustful journey

Juan…Vino…Butch…Jacque...Rami...Pierre 

No country is off limits 

No country is safe

                              Her lustful journey 




 *For David's Dish contest...

I loved to play 'Cowboys and Indians'
    My favorite book was 'Little Fat Policeman'
  I really enjoyed a good minstrel show
    Desi Arnaz Jr's accent made my laughter grow

  Today I'd be a fat-shaming racist
    who culturally misappropriates to boot
  Back then I was just another 'normal kid'
    in his designer white-privilege suit...

A smart *ss hermit,
Sitting on a folly throne.
And he always likes to spit,
Bunch of words in drone.

A culturally-modified mime,
In a shirt that dull boring pinky.
Talking about the punctuation and rhyme,
Insisted on how a poem should be.

Oh dear gray-haired kooks..
The words you say wrapped in hypocrisy.
I might not counted smart in your books,
But at least my words cry it honestly....

Every one's perception is their individual reality,
so how many truths can there possibly be?
And "how can the truth set one free", if one
lives in denial based on unreality?
Living different lives, with unique experiences,
varied emotions, separated culturally, and
geographically by vast oceans.
Is it even plausible to find that common thread
that binds our humanity and takes us out of our head?...

CULTURE     VULTURE


Once gave a girl I liked  a black 
Tribal mask from Africa, with real hair.
Don’t know why, but she gave me it back.
It all went downhill from there.

Then I fancied her sister  Gail
And at Christmas I presented her in vain
With my collection of clippings of toenail.
She never answered my calls again. 

Some women are very attractive
It’s nice to enjoy their tease,
But I’m a guy who’s culturally active,
And women are so hard to please....

The buxom diva shattered chandeliers when she sang soprano.

Opera houses vibrated and thundered when she sang contralto!

When belting out an aria her voice quivered like Robin Hood's bow,

As she struggled through Mozart's ll re pastore blow by tedious blow!

His lady friend sat rapt but not her culturally impaired and hapless beau!

He'd much rather they'd spent the evening at the Grand Ol' Opry show!
