I Will Not Praise that Purpose Not to Sell

Shakespeare, sonnet 21

Someone says she’s AC/DC and it means she goes both ways
But does each direction take her where she wants to go
Where someone will say hey baby or damn girl
Or yes I will make you breakfast

And what’s it like going in both directions at once
Is it like being in a cartoon
Where your legs wind up like propellers
Before you take off and whoosh down the road

So to praise the dark lady she conjures
All she learned going both directions at once
Where someone will say hey baby or damn girl

To praise the mysterious youth she conjures the place
Where your legs wind up like propellers
Before you take off and whoosh down the road
