As We Like

As We Like

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce

We are more powerful
than you seek
We are well beyond
what you might consider meak
We are actually what
you seek
MIghty women, strong and sleek.
 
Don't consider us
frivolous or contrite
simply because we take a bite
of that which brings us delight
as you may be that which we have
our sights
upon.
 
Meak and mild like a child
I think not-
more like thunderous clouds
on a cold, freezing night
we shall take hold of you
as we like.

That's right, the moment you think a supermodel can't kick your arse think again, they exercise like 16 hours a day- ay ya yai- is very good.
