Lets respect the hard working women
Having fun and being creative
As Rosie operating a hand drill even
Tell me a woman can`t do it
Yes, they can
Enjoy writing in a poetry style
How Rosie may have inspired you
or who in the past did, has
Many hard working woman today as we are
Back then many had it hard with ones excepting them
as workers and especially equal pay
