If only children knew my last name,
maybe then they wouldn't scream for mom
to check under the bed.
If only women knew my last name,
maybe then they would cling to their purses
in the street lightless avenues.
If only men knew my last name,
maybe then they wouldn't join the NRA
and buy up all the guns and ammo.
I only came by to dance.
I only came to sing.
I only came to play.
My last name is Woogie.
Now who would like to Boogie Woogie?
Wouldn't in L5? I don't think you need the last line. Love it.
