Got Milk?
by Mirabai
Yeah, I got it.
Or, I had it -
like pure cream,
higher on the pedestal
than Vitamin D, 100% pure,
and virgin white.
You bought me
like a farmer -
paid me with a diamond
set in gold.
You gave me bells
ringing in my ears
while I grazed
in my milk white dress.
I worked my calves to the bone
for you
because I was in love,
love.
I see cows in the fields, eating hay.
Hey, man! I can’t eat
unless you feed me.
But, you won’t feed me
unless you need me,
and you can’t need me
if I don’t produce.
But, my milk ain’t free.
Time has skimmed me;
I’m down to 2%.
What’s the matter boy?
It don’t taste as sweet now,
does it?
