Intrepid Entrepreneur
She liked being her own boss
It suited her personality very well
Coming in at your own hours,
occasionally taking a nap when you chose to
Surf the latest fashions,
scroll through the top trending news
Nothing like having your own business,
it's even better when it becomes a success
As an intrepid entrepreneur,
just another day in the life
She enjoyed making the fresh bread,
she enjoyed holding the butter knife
Spreading the wealth
gave her much satisfaction
Treating her employees good
was the ultimate euphoric lift
Shopping at the free market
is such a volatile affair
Things don't always go as they should
Bids accepted, bids denied;
some days she won the contract,
some days she was miffed
But making her own decisions everyday,
was like each day giving herself a gift
As an intrepid entrepreneur,
she enjoyed tasting the frosting,
she enjoyed cutting the cake
She enjoyed setting her own clock every daybreak
A tribute to my beloved sister Patrice
