Villanelle If You Knew What the Rest In Silence Think

Villanelle : If only you knew what the rest in silence think (if a guy not so Sterling be) If only you knew what the rest in silence think You wouldn’t rush to hang him on a string Look at his gal and see why he’s such a stink We’re all Africans whichever way you blink If you fathered Man do not your sons sting If only you knew what the rest in silence think If your girl leant close in Magic Johnson’s clink Wouldn’t you bounce up and with envy wring Look at his gal and see why he’s such a stink Leave the guy alone and let him jealous sink His gal will drop him and millions you bring If only you knew what the rest in silence think Be not so self-righteous and haughty think No sweet Blackie stuck on Whitey you not sting Look at his gal and see why he’s such a stink Lucy’s blood drains down Cro-Magnon’s brain link All the world’s but one long genetic string If only you knew what the rest in silence think Look at his gal and see why he’s such a stink © T.
