Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
From western Philadelphia I hail,
where in my youth I’d play upon the green
’til — rue the day! — I found myself assail’d
by ru{ans contemptible and mean.
Although the spat was trivial and brief,
it wounded my dear mother deep within;
and so, to give her conscience sweet relief,
she sent me forth to live amongst her kin.
When to my port of call I’d been convey’d,
I came upon a coachman most unique;
and yet I simply took the trip and paid,
despite his cab’s decor and fresh mystique.
— I survey all the land with princely mien
in fair Bel-Air, where I do lay my scene.
Will Smith, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”
