Have Flying Monkeys and Will Fight
Have Flying Monkeys and Will Fight
By Elton Camp
Women with power are now no surprise
But seventy years ago, few cases did arise
But there was one who didn’t take any guff
When crossed, she could be plenty rough
Although the strangest green was her skin,
And she had warts and an elongated chin
Not a person ever came to learn her name,
All of her rights she didn’t hesitate to claim
One who defied her, the decision would rue
For she did whatever it was she needed to
Those who, to her enemy, became a friend
She would gladly bring to a disastrous end
Her great power allowed her to be repressive
For she’d use even force that was excessive
From a fortress high up on a mountain top
A powerful army her enemies could stop
Of being a wimp she couldn’t be accused
What was at her disposal, she always used
