Out-o-f-the-Krimson-and-Kream

Times certainly have brought about a change.
And to a few it, might seem strange
Black women are soaring with ambition.
No more barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen
And she's not slaving like an ox.
Have you seen her image on the pancake box?
Ha! Purse full of credit cards, fancy car.
And the girl ain't even a movie star.
Not long ago, I was on the bus
Looking at girlie magazine and full of lust,
eating fried chicken from "The Colonel"
Sitting next to a sister reading a "Wall Street Journal"
I said, "Pardon me baby, where are you on your way?
I would like to know your name if that's okay
Your perfume I surely adore
I believe we met somewhere before!"
She says, "I'm on my way downtown to City Hall
I must chair a council meeting and that's not all
Then I'm off to the United Nations-
To advise on a classified situation.
Sorry, but I fail to remember you-
Were you ever in Sudan or Istanbul?
Or perhaps it was Rome, England, or by chance
it was Chad, Morocco or Paris, France?
You see, I'm multi-lingual and travel a lot-
And the universe is my melting pot
but, once a month I take a bus-
just my way of staying in touch.
Nefertiti is my name,
and universal peace is my game.
I attended Benedict College in South Carolina and earned MY Bachelor Degree.
Then I went to Fisk and received MY Masters in Nashville, Tennessee.
at Howard University in Washington, D.C. -
That's where I earned MY Ph.D
I have offices in Dallas, Chicago, and Mexicana-
A penthouse in New York and a home in Atlanta.
I play the harp-And pilot a jet-
Now tell me brother, where do you think we met?"
I rung the bell-Got up and left-
Aunt Jemima done got besides herself
