She Eats Boys for Breakfast iii



She eats boys for breakfast, chews them up,
Spits them out and stomps all over them.
Lets them know their place, with a
Smile on her face because she knows she’s right

She eats boys for breakfast, leaves them,
In the dust. She’s brilliant and even
The men want her. She entertains
None of that, obviously, she doesn’t stand
For that sort of inappropriate behavior

She is the queen, the one who knows best,
And she won't let you forget it,
She’s ground breaking and modest and
Too good for me, too good for all of them

She’s the brightest shining star this
Side of the galaxy, and when she
Eats boys for breakfast,
She chews quietly

    The last line is devastatingly good. I admire a writer who can dream up a scenario like this then slay with the final words.
