Lifestylish
-
A bottle green, a sunny bright
- Bikini-and-brown-skin delight
- With breasts and bums and muscles too
- On a white beach a week or two
- You must when you are popular
- Succesful, young or a big flirt
-
Else, rob some chocolateries
- Collect some books and DVDs
- Pull on wide shirts or sweaters wool
- Don't dare go near a swimming pool
- Need glasses thick, have fuzzy hair
- Discourage friendships with a glare
-
Or, when a man, grow big buck teeth
- Rename yourself Da Man or H341h
- Don't wash, don't shave, and never clean
- Don't leave your parents, live on beans
- And gather all the games you can
- Know bedtime starts at six am
-
A student, on the other hand
- Has their career life fully planned
- Ostensibly attends each class
- In truth sleeps in, but can still pass
- Shall know the cheapest spots in town
- Party in shirt and evening gown
-
To other places they may go
- Who loves all peace and worships flow
- Wears rastas, uses nature's cures
- Tattoo and piercings all endures
- And camps in rainbow-coloured tents
- And drives in busses full of dents
-
Some so love dark and black of night
- Their dress is grannies' awful fright
- They dig the werewolves and vampires
- The Vikings, myths and old empires
- The music of their fav'rite bands
- Is loud and hard to understand
-
Another group still walks in gangs
- With every step their bling-bling clangs
- They wear big pants, disguise their head
- They rap, they swear, some think they're mad
- And have a scene, come from a 'hood
- A language hardly understood
-
Yet when you are a girly girl
- You'll need straight hair that you can swirl
- Teeth that go "ting," round, shiny eyes
- A boyfriend to romanticise
- A hobby, sport, or better, two
- A mall to buy the latest shoe
-
The next group is yet even stranger
- They love a baby in a manger
- And sing their songs in whole-note psalms
- A bible daily in their palms
- They go to church in ankle-skirts
- Think black socks right and long-sleeved shirts
