So Long Sacagawea
Poor Sacagawea we will no longer see.
She was replaced by the “Father of our Country”.
Just like predecessor Susan B. Anthony,
Sac’s image is no longer on our money.
Some presidents are there now. You have bid adieu.
You carried your papoose on the front in plain view.
Before the dollar coin, we knew nothing about you.
It seems women are done no justice by the Mint.
As was Sue, your presence was less than permanent.
