Learned Sisters Poem by Kassim Mohammed Ahmed

Tell them learned sisters

who've so stereotyped

kept the syntax

like some game, or of the type



They seek tall, dark and handsome men

yet let the good be owned

by others but lesser in looks and deed, then

the standards begin to drop, or altogether be thrown



Thrown, thrown as time swiftly runs, and

draws lots to mistresses,

and those even unluckier, tend

beauty never to be appreciated, masked behind

marks and stretches.

'if tym would but a bit rewind'
