A Poem for the ages

MargOH! with Nellie McKay 

Kids,

I was on my way back from Miami and I wrote a poem while I sipped my Sake and chaser of caffeine free Diet coke. It is a litle diddy i wrote about my friend Nellie,

MargOH! and Nellie


Those two girls what a pair
In step walking side by side
Talking in a carefree tune
Thoughts dancing, smiling wide
People staring but they won’t hide
Friends til the end
In step walking side by side

MargOH is a big boned gal
Most everyone looks twice
Covering up with L’Oreal
Sophisticated glamour always nice
Working on an angle, independent and free
Stop staring; she’s who she wants to be


Nellie is a young pioneer, ambitious, no fear
She has a vintage style and talent that’s rare
She’s no pageant gone bad
Her music makes you imagine a world both happy and sad
She sings for human and animal rights
Optimistic we’ll win the fight
Standing tall, independent and free
Stop Staring, she’s who she wants to be


MargOH and Nellie don’t fit the mold
Two works of art bigger than life to behold
Don’t ask don’t tell
They’re not ready to say
What business is it of yours anyway?
These two friends til the end
Working on an angle, independent and free
Stop staring; they’re who they want to be


It’s not a matter of sexual orientation
Small-minded people currently rule this nation
Just so that you’re in the know
MargOH and Nellie are just friends on the go
Two girlfriends til the end
Working on an angle, independent and free
Stop staring; they’re who they want to be
They’re who they want to be
