Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Stage Presence

You came onto the faith biz scene
With hubby, Jim, and used T.V.
To build an empire. You were queen,
Batting those eyelashes on key,
To persuade the viewers to send
More money to your ministry.
Scandal brought that show to an end.
You cut your losses (and hubby),
And kept performing smaller scale
To stay within the public eye.
And even as your health did fail,
You would not let your fanfare die.

You came onto the stage to stay.
Take another bow, Tammy Faye.
