Wish you could all meet Penny,
She’s imperfect ,
And a rare fine ,
One of the things I like best about Penny is I think she’s the best kid sister a lesbian can have,
This Iowa lesbian poet,
Whom two nights ago I almost lost for this lifetime,
She drives an hour and a half both ways to work,
For people who dont know this special person nor care she works pain ridden,
I love her stories,
Her husband Kevin injured riding his motorcycle got aides from the transfusion,
Bigioted naive m.d.(when I don’t capataluse its because I have no respect for whom ever.)
Took a year to figure out Kevin had HIV,
Breathed his last while Penny held his hand,
Worked since fourteen,
Had to raise their youngest alone,
Kevin had no choice,
Penny had no choice,
Always there for any animal in need,
Two cages,
Always kept ready in the dining room,
Any animal freezing alone,
Outside in Iowa’s nasty weather,
Had a warm,
Dry bed and food waiting,
Two cages,
One hard working tired female,
Sought legal aid this summer when forced onto temporary disability when asked if she could work as a secretary of the ER on a walker,
She had a new hip put in this summer,
Penny had worked for fifteen years on a cane,
Mercy One in Waterloo,IA took her compiled Sickleave it all magically vanished,
No Iowan lawyer cared to help as a disability Iowan was discriminated against by the HR at this catholic hospital!
Two cages ready for any animal in need,
No Iowan man attorney with balls,
Funny thing,
You know what she said when she could no longer stay in her home?
Penny Said ‘I should just leave it unlocked for the homeless!’
I Said No!
Why give away what you love?
I betcha lawyers of Iowa if you had an animal on need of a home she would welcome and love it and find the critter a home!
Two cages!
