  Nefertiti's White Egyptian-Cotton Sundress

Nefertiti never filled 

a white, Egyptian-cotton sundress

with s'much breath-taking grace and copper-toned form.

In that Egyptian-cotton white dress

her smile couldna swelled her King's heart so, like the noon sun

have him clutching her hand, tight so, up Georgia Avenue.

If her King coulda seen what this King here knew-

that vibrant, white sundress on radiant you,

he woulda traded all Egypt

that Georgia Ave. noon...
