No Calamity Jane

No Calamity, Jane
G.I.Jane doesn’t want a Barbie
She wants bullets to flow
Hitting targets and bullseyes
Quick and sure

None of Mom’s domestic chains
Just enough oil for this girl
To lube her gun and no flaws
In her aim

Never mind pop - loud bangs and booms!
She’s got her wings and is thinking straight
Digging deeper fir the treasure; They’ll be
No middle ground

No sitting around wasting syllables
Trying to get rhythm when there’s rotten
To be hunted and good to be set straight
Fight for right

G.I.Jane just wants combat boots
She want sot see the world
And make it safe for the children she might have
One fine day

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
