Calamity Jane

Martha Jane Cannary, For her time was quite contrary. A hard drinking, sharp shootin' gal, Who dressed like a man and whose language was foul. 7/24/21 For Brian Strand's July 24 Poetry Contest

Since I loved the musical Calamity Jane, I just had to see what your spin on her was. Thank you for the laugh!
