But She Did Happily Voice Her Opinion

My Sometimes Song I once knew a poet called Rhoda Monihan, Who was thought always to visit the Sanhedrin, By her parents who said, That god was not dead, But she did happily voice her opinion! For Laura Loo's Famous Last Line contest: But She Did Happily Voice Her Opinion! But she did happily voice her opinion! Even though she was a woman cross dresser, Rejected by those who were family familiar, And made to feel like a used can or onion. An atheist as well amongst Christians, Not slack and did not just float into atheism, Not apathetic to philosophy and to skepticism, Prepared to remark upon and criticise turbans. No blond hair to indicate purity and righteousness, No blondness to propose truth and good, Just black hair, normal and with no mood, To pacify the quick spirited, pious countess. What gave her the right to speak? Her body: her legs, arms and voice; Her mouth or voice said she had a choice, About which she was not often weak. 1st March 2016
