Handout 3: Five Cents
Ishmael Reed (1938 - ) from Chattanooga. (New York: Random House, 1973)
For all the women who've
Rejected me in my life
I would be the head of the
World Bank with a flunkie
To hold my derby as i
Prepared to fly chartered
Jet to sign a check
Giving India a new lease
On life
If I had a nickel for
All the women who've loved
Me in my life I would be
The World Bank's assistant
Janitor and wouldn't need
To wear a derby
All I'd think about would
Be going home.
