Afraid She'll Take Over
Folder:
National Poetry Month 2020 To hear her tell it
All that kept her
From being the true sovereign
Which she was meant to be
Was a random
Clerical error
Committed by
Some inattentive
Principality
Whose mind was not on his work
Still
She strode through this world
With a regal manner which belied
A Georgian
Colored female born in 1926
And when she bade this life goodbye
After obtaining her vaunted
Three score and ten with change to spare
I said a quiet prayer for that
Unsuspecting angel
For Lula Maude
21 April 1926
