Calamity Jane Poem by Ima Ryma

Martha Jane Cannary became
A legend of the wild, wild west,
And is better known by the name,
Calamity Jane - she possessed
As daredevil who liked to court
Calamity for pay and fun,
Not a very lady like sort
When fighting foe with knife and gun.
As wild as Wild Bill Hickok who
She's rumored to have been his wife.
With a meat cleaver she did do
Chop on McCall who took Bill's life.

Age 51 on a train ride
She caught pneumonia and she died.
