Weed

Elva Buckley

"Flibadob" said Bill.
"Flobadob" said Ben.
Which is a pretty good standard
of conversation for men.

"Hadup Weed"

Weed never spoke.
Well, she was female,
A bloke wants decoration,
Not conversation.

But Weed has been educated,
Articulate, emancipated.
Weed is now a flower
With GIRL POWER.

"Ms Weed from now on
My Bimbo days are gone.
I'm the equal in this sequel.
See through my petals,
Appreciate the mind God gave me.
However, I am inclined
To accept the modern scientific theory
Of photosynthesis rather than belief in a
Singular almighty being
Who created the universe to a cosmic design.
What do you think?

"Flibadob" said Bill.
"Flobadob" said Ben.
