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 ~ Our Just Mead

Look upon little Margaret
About as strange as it could get
The eyes of nosy neighbors in
As they observed her to begin
Freely glad associatin’
With kids living over there
As if she didn’t even care
About belonging to the set
Who had the nicest nails and hair
Like she wasn’t even aware
Of desirability
Like those vapid girls to be

Glad with people to be seen
Any decent girl confess
Little more than savages!

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.
