Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Gram Rose

1895 was the year

Great Grandma Rose got her big break

Doing an ad for a French beer,

Quite a sensation Gram did make.

Cuz drinking beer was not deemed then

To be a ladylike deed done.

The prudes scorned it as downright sin.

So Gram Rose thought it would be fun

To do taboo and do the ad,

Knowing she would be the cause sure

Of making lots of the prudes mad.

Gram had a mischief side to her.

Even funnier when I think

Alcohol, Gram Rose did not drink.
