Good Thing

Anonymous

Good thing I wasn’t Pocahontas I’m not very diplomatic And I’d have pissed off the English And probably lost us even more land When I would have tried to high-five the king And turned down John Rolfe’s proposal

Lucky I wasn’t Sacajawea I can barely read a road map Lewis and Clark would have fired me And maybe the West would have been left alone At least, until they found some other Indian woman to help them out

So I guess it’s good that I’m just some kid Who tries to be a girl version Of Sherman Alexie
