We will not be Sassified! a poem for grrls


We are Girls.
We are Sassy Girls.
Are we Sassy, Girls?

We are wild!
We love rainbow colours!
We wear dungarees and get all muddy!
We ride bikes- faster than the boys!
We play pirates, spaceships and pretend to be dinostegleosauroctopusses!

Girls, we aren’t Sassy.
Sassy is Silly!
We are …

Smart
Strong
Successful
Scary
Skateboarders
Sorcerers
Special
Solar-powered
Super
Splendid
Subversive
Supportive
Survivors
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

We are Sweet Sea-faring Songstresses Sizzling Soya Sausages for Sunday Supper with our Sisters.
But…
We will Slingshot you into Space with our Self-made Scuzzle-guns if you dare Step aboard our Ship!

So.
Screw you!

We ain’t Sassy, Sir.
