- You are a chief, I am a
commoner
- Below you, I am obedient to
your command
-
-
- While you sit, I cook for you
and
- Wait on your big body
-
-
- You are insincere, I've lost my
love for you
- Those eyes wink at someone
else
-
-
- I know your tenderness for
another bird
- This bird will break the bonds
that bind
-
-
- This is the mast that boasts of
itself
- The rope that squeaks
-
-
- The story is told
- You are a chief, I am a
commoner
