MarieAntoinette Ford Poems

We’ll go first they said with pride
Navy, extra wide, elastic sides
Don’t think because of our clumsy look
We don’t have memories to write a book

It is true I was born to be
more than a useless nobody,
yet I’ve lived half a century
wondering, who I’m meant to be
...

When Bertie went away to war so much was on his mind
For he had to leave his wife and brand new son behind
Turned his head at the street corner, waved and blew a kiss
To the loved ones in his life he would so desperately miss
...
