Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Bettered

In the 50's and 60's, she,

At a car dealership, found work,

Only woman in world of he,

Was an accounts payable clerk.

For the guys she became a source

Of pulling jokes and poking fun.

She kept her good humor of course,

Tried to be kind to ev'ryone.

She put up with a lot for sure.

Through all, she was so cool and calm,

No matter the putdown on her.

I was very proud of my Mom.

She profited from a stock tip,

And then bought the car dealership.
