beautiful white radish

I love you
When it rains

You are my red umbrella
I love you

I don’t like my aunt
But I love you

You are my rich uncle
I don’t like onions
I love you
You are a beautiful white radish

You are number one

I love you
I don’t like this list
You are more than this list

[Ishmael Reed, ‘Number I (English)’, from New Verse, 1989-2006]
