Boys Like Us
Do not tell boys like us 'life is simple like ABCD' When we still stutter on L, M, N 'cus we're used to the nursery days Rhymes ELLI, EHNNI, EMMU. Do not tell boys like us the moon is not a picture of our mothers and the stars are not the eyes of our fathers we were brought up with the tale of our forefathers who lived in the walking clouds outskirt we were told they reach out to us with beaming lights every night whilst we were taught how to respond with " twinkle twinkle little star" . Do not tell boys like us to stay away ' from the rain ' do not remind boys like us how to fly an umbrella when we've found solace in the slippery rainy-dance which flows with the rhythm of the raindrops that strikes hard our tattered roof squirting water on our bodies while we run around the house chanting "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN"...
