Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Tribute To Amelia Earhart

Amelia, what were you thinking?
It was still the dark ages for women
Your parents and your husband spoiled you.
You had no idea what was waiting

Large greedy hands could not wait to get you
To make you what you were not
Simpering and begging, whining and groveling.
They thought you too proud.

You were captured by the Numbskulls 
Who capture all sassy confident, assertive women
And torture them into admitting 
That men are superior in every way

You did not go lightly or easily
They rapidly realized they had 
A wild cat on their hands.
One who had been spoiled.

You were making too much of a ruckus.
They got rid of you quietly, and in the dark.
You became a pirate, a water girl. 
Numbskulls being numbskulls!
