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
