Yo, she’s the new love of my life
I woulda never guessed it at the start
I was coming off a bad break, a heart break
Fallin’ and wallowin’
In my pity like a hobo
What kills me though
Is that I tried ta talk to this chic before
But she dropped me and dissed me
Left me hurting in the streets
Bruised me up bad
Yo, she coulda cared less then
Like a republican about the ghetto
But one day
One day I’ll never forget
My boy told me he had a friend for me to meet
And there she was
Just grinnin’ like a state trooper
That evil I got you now grin
But I smiled back
Told her let’s get down to business
And we did
Now when I walk the streets with her
I stand out like a white guy at the Zulu Krewe
picnic
Drinking Dixie and rocking to reggae beats
But hey, me and her are inseparable
Even though she still drops me
She still bruises me
She puts my body through as much as she can
And as much as I can take
But hey, what can I say,
I love ta skate

Interesting poem, I liked the dialect, and the way you ended it with "I love to skate". I take it to mean if you skate, you will fall down sometime..and if you love..sometimes you will get hurt..but then you just get up and love again.

Rich, I enjoyed the poem. I did not look for those hip hop songs yet, I am in a 70's post punk mood at the moment so I don't think I would like them maybe later. Anyway ranting. I loved the line

"Yo, she coulda cared less then
Like a republican about the ghetto"

enjoyed the read.
