My Bawdy Great Aunt Norma Bea

She was the bawdiest gal, they said.
Her eyes were green, her hair was red.
There were rumors of course
She rode nude on her pet horse
But we never knew her, for she was long dead.

You’re luckier for it, they told me.
She lived to be age eighty-three
She had a hankering 
For all kinds of pankering
She was my Great-Aunt Norma Bea

I made her up in my imagination based on how I plan to give everyone a really good look at me before I go.
