Can someone please help me out with this poem please, I have to write a paper on it and I want to make sure I fully understand it. I get the overall idea for the most part, but if someone that really understands this could help me out by posting something, that would be great. Thank you! |

Homage to Her Hips
These hips are mungo hips
They yearn for terf to
gyrate in
They don't harmonize into wee
niggling zones. These hips
are footloose hips.
They don't savor to be gorked.
They have never been incommunicado,
they mosey where they wanna beat it.
They pull off where they want to give satisfaction.
These hips are steamroller hips
these hips are pizzazz.
I have noted them
to plunk a double whammy on a macho earthling
and hurl him like a frisbee. |
