We Called Her Pearl

A mysterious girl, we called her Pearl;
though her given name was Jezebel.
Quiet life, a hell, confined to her shell;
her chambers were the rivers of Roswell.

Submerged in Ros, like the nautilus she was,
Her beginning dated nineteen forty-seven.
Her tenure eleven; work was her leaven;
in fifty-eight, she crashed the gates of heaven.


FYI:The mystery?  Was Pearl a passenger on the UFO's of Roswell? or the fated USS Nautilus? or both?

Poteet Date: 3/24/2018 5:00:00 PM The USS Nautilus really did not crash; but that made for better sci- fiction. Actually it was the first nuclear powered submarine and in 1958 navigated the North Pole under the ice of the Arctic Circle.

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/7/2018 1:36:00 PM - Many events that are stamped "top secret" ... and we never get the truth, R.A.P. - Great written :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Login to Reply Reason A. Poteet Date: 3/12/2018 11:20:00 AM Thanks Anne-Lise. That is for certain, a count-on event.

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/7/2018 2:10:00 AM Love this Reason, There's a lot more going on than they'd have you believe . Must google her, you've whet my appetite now. Tom Login to Reply Reason A. Poteet Date: 3/7/2018 5:54:00 AM THank you so much, Tom. Your comment makes me smile, not many will check the dates to find there really are eleven years between the two events. Roswell is also at the conjunction of three rivers just like Pittsburgh, PA.
