Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Nellie Bly

Nellie Bly, reporter, did get

Publisher, Joe Pulitzer, to.

In eighteen eighty seven, let

Her on assignment to pursue

Abuse in New York's Blackwell's Isle

Insane Asylum where she went,

Pretending insanity while

Exposing abuse evident.

She lived the horror for ten days,

Then Pulitzer did get her out.

A daring news trail Bly did blaze.

She was a pioneer no doubt.

Her ""Ten Days in a Mad House" book

Gave the public a close up look.
