Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Golda

Golda Meir would talk about
Moses in good news, bad news ways.
She said that he, without a doubt,
Brought her people to better days,
After 40 years to this soil,
The only Middle Eastern spot
Where there wasn't a drop of oil.
The U.S., during war, had sought
Some military expertise.
She said some generals she'd send,
And take 2 U.S. ones apiece -
Motors and Electric - she grinned.

Gold Meir had a quick, ready wit
To use to lead and to bullshit.
