Sarah Kay: If I should have a daughter

This is a trimmed version of the original DEF Poetry clip from S1E1 with the swearing removed from the introduction. It is more suitable for classrooms that want to use this video to introduce a poetry unit. In no way, am I attempting to pass this off as my own. I just needed a cleaned up version of this awesome poem to use in school. The original version can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOum8NE5-Ns

Watch the rest of Malarious here -- http://www.collegehumor.com/malarious 30 celebrities. 24 videos. One cause. Millions of stupid, awful, disgusting mosquitoes. Pay a dollar, five dollars, or whatever you want, and watch these comedy stars do awesome things to help squash this awful disease.
