There was a lady named Lucretia Mott
Who wanted voting rights for all of us
Wyoming helped, they elected mayor Ross
Who was a woman and helped them gain trust
  18 more states decided to join
By allowing women to vote as well
  Some states decided not to flip their coin
  So some ladies had packed and said farewell
  Then in 1920 rights were addressed
  Saying that women were allowed to vote
  Joyfully, women felt extremely blessed
A right given to all women to tote
Tote this right happily, they did you see
‘Cause they were almost treated as equally

© Irvin E., Kannapolis, NC

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
