Scarlett

Tara must have pulled the ground up Over her head, you made us all See nothing but red Incessant bawlin', rebel drawlin' Rhett! Rhett! Rhett! T'was not those phony charms That drove him from your arms A petite, whining Southern Belle From Hell, couldn't see the Georgia forest in those trees Face it now, Rhett is gone Along with the wind, you've sung your last song Frankly Scarlett, the boy is movin' on

Well,k Karen, just like the movie and the book you have managed to bring us right into the mix of Gone with the Wind, and I must say it was very enjoyable. I am still waiting for the fishing poem you wrote, so let me know when you post it. Your friend, Lynn.

Ah yes the rest of us live in genteel poverty compared to our dear Scarlett. If I hear someone say "Frankly my dear..." I'm going to slit my wrists. I really like this write. Great rhythm and heck is plain funny as well. Kilmer

I LOVE Gone With the Wind! You've written a fabulous little gem here. I've always thought Rhett was FAR too patient with her.
