Julie Miranda and Eye

Were sailing around

Various Caribbean islands

On our summer voyage

We were joined by Alison

Who was writing a book

About the slave trade

Se was a minor American academic

Who had devoted her life to the subject

As part of our trip we visited various sites

Connected to this historical trade

My female friends were much taken

By her descriptions but I was not fooled

And when asked why I was so silent

I explained that because it was so long ago

That I truthfully did not give a fuck
