A Recently Shot Gun: ?poem

Thief

--

Am I a man or a woman

What could I be, tell

Have I gotta be good looking

’Cause I’m so hard to see

Am I big or small

Is this pride before a fall

A sexist, a racist, a one-percenter or all

Am I somebody’s baby

Or perhaps one day maybe

I sailed the seven seas

On a great big clipper ship

In Lou Reed’s sailor’s suit and cap

To the seven seas of Rhye

On a rocky mountain high

Over a bridge of sighs

Into the land of make believe

Is my name William or Harry

Garry or Steve

Eloise, Bootylicious

Sweet Mary Jane

Am I black, white or brindle

Red, blue or green

Do I climb up great mountains

Can I think on my feet

Am I a politician

An undertaker

An actor

A fiend
