It’s Women’s History Month here in the United States ~ one during which this poet enjoys offering her tongue-in-cheek series on the lives of ladies who have helped to make modern life as we know it possible for all of us.

Infamous Laydeez ~ A Girl Named George

Everybody knows George Sand
Went to town dressed like a man
Not as many know that she
Shared her creativity
With writer Alfred de Musset
Together they’d create away
She over there, him near at hand
Around them both the Muse at play…

He said of one mutual day
He had by noon written a bit
(In endeavoring to think,
Quaffing down a bit of drink)
While she, pitching right into it
(Fully juiced, apparently,
Upon a litre jug of milk),
Relieved her pen of so much ink
Ere fair lunchtime bade them quit,
Surely sole among her ilk,
Two chapters she had writ!

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.
