Never Annoy a Woman Who Carries a Pointy Sword
Never annoy
A woman
Who carries a pointy sword
made of copper or aluminium or zinc
and if it is encrusted with
rubies and emeralds, figure
she has some knowledge of it,
and will wield it gladly in your direction
and often
She who can assert herself with
her champion armour and her pointy
sword, probably has the best life already
If she wants to include you, she might
but until you are summoned, and with a smile,
run away lightly, in tip-toe fashion, for a woman
who carries a pointy sword will not hesitate to strike.
