Mingled Queen<\/h1>\n

by Patrice Farmer<\/a><\/em>
November 1999<\/strong>

She were a curious sight.
Skin both brown and light.
Hair too curly to be just of white.
Eyes from blue to hazel bright.
Dare she choose what she might? <\/p>\n

To what oddity is she seen?
Looks so queer, exotic, and keen.
Proud of all, such curious Queen?
Must we wonder where you lean. <\/p>\n

Question you? We do not dare.
Yet we seem to often stare.
With hardened hearts we often glare.
Unable to squash your pride, your care. <\/p>\n
