Immortalized in song,
Right or wrong,
You defied your parents
In the strongest way.

Sister Emma,
Quieter and kinder,
Warned against
Such impudence.

Maggie the maid,
Standing by silently,
Spotted the bloodied dress
You had to burn.

Lizzie, even Midol
Could not stop
Your mad cycle
Through an unloving family.

History remembers the maddened one in song, movies ect. Who will remember the gentle one.
We remember Lizzie, Jack, Freddie, Manson, Frank and Jesse.
Do we remember Sweet Kathleen or Dora Blanche. No. We say who are they?
Life is interesting.
My goodness. What got me started?
See Ya
Bon-Bon
