In Scotland hunreds of years ago,
There was a man of old.
He was known as the black Cromwell.
It's his kind of man of which we tell.
In history he was in love with a fair lass
And many a time he'd make a pass.
She hated him no matter how much his gold.
His heart was ugly, treacherous and cold.
When he went to her father for her hand she said, "No!"
"I'll not embarrass my menfolk to marry that...NO!"
The father, brothers defended her honor well.
He destroyed them all, that Cromwell!
He grabbed her and locked her in his tower.
And she tried to escape with all her power.
there was only one escape from the castle.
She Jumped!
Did she die well?

When I wrote it, it was hard to relate to a child of Scot, Irish and native american historocities ,the examples in history. For a child to remember with short attention spans, I illustrated poetry. I had no idea of how powerful this poem would become. In the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital she told me before the morophine took hold, "I remembered the poem mama..."
There you go. What is fed to our blank sheets of paper becomes their encyclopedia for life. |
