Just got home from Little Skips. Tonight was Susan Hwang's Bushwick Bookclub show. Every artist has a about a month to read a book (or the film) of her choosing and create and perform a song at the chosen venue. Tonight's book was "Pride and Prejudice" I did a poem called " She Walked"

She Walked

She walked that road in her pretty dress 

No matter what they said she couldn’t care less 

Her sister was sick and it made her stressed  

So she walked that road in her pretty dress  

She walked that road with pretty hair 

No matter what they said she would make it there 

Daddy said 

NO carriage  

but she didn’t care 

She walked that road with pretty hair.  

Pretty soon she was covered in dirt 

And knew the 

rich ones would look down on her 

But her sis was ill

she had to go  

and  

Darcy was feeling her on the low. 

So she walked that road with a sweaty face 

And she walked right up into that place 

Behind her back they let out sighs 

But she smiled when her sister opened her eyes 

Mr. Bingsly had a welcoming smile 

Which made this whole damn trip worthwhile.  

She could care less about the rest 

So she walked that road in her pretty dress 

She walked that road in her pretty dress 

No matter what they said she couldn’t care less 

Her sister was sick and it made her stressed  

So she walked that road in her pretty dress  

She walked that road in her pretty dress 

No matter what they said she couldn’t care less 

Her sister was sick and it made her stressed  

So she walked that road in her pretty dress
