Ode to my Ghetto Peach

Oh how round you are

Protruding at great lengths behind me

Jeans slide with ease up to the ledge

Unable to move past it without a struggle

You do not belong to a white girl

Oh how I love and hate you at the same time

You’ve been with me since I was young

On tippy toes peering out the window

Too rotund to fit into my dance costumes

Next to waif-thin ballerinas

My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump

My lovely lady lump

My Ghetto Peach

How could I get along without you?


I wrote this as a quick-write from a great book called Room to Write
