The Saga of Edna
Edna stalked marriagable prey
the way most men stalk tigers
not at all.
Lived the majority of her years
Happily worrying about
one person's feelings - hers.
Edna remained resolutely single
happy with her hobbies
traveling carefree
Joyfully visiting China, Japan, India
Learning things other could never learn
on a first hand basis.
Edna has spent her life
doing what she wants when she wants
She has amassed wealth
She has no one to leave it to
but no worries. She has other trips.
Other dreams, and she is far from finished.
Edna falls in love at the age of seventy-two.
Her first diamond is a joy.
She is thrilled.
A new path.
