Henrietta is an Inflexible Being
Henrietta is an inflexible being
her ideas are unbending and sacred
to say she is stubborn
is like calling the White House a hut
or a cobra a worm
My daddy called her pig-headed
it pleased her, she liked it
she has never married
no one has tried to knock her door down
or pick her up and take her to a cave
She has never changed one single idea
they were her parents ideas
so they are good enough for her
and somehow please her cats too
