A tiny morsel thrust upon the stage <br />That grew too large to chew, much less swallow <br />So RCA chastised her, condemned her to death. <br />But she wouldn't stay buried. <br /> <br />Emerging, again and again <br />To tempt, threaten or succor <br />Those who found that she was <br />What she claimed to be. <br /> <br />A 'Female Elvis' she was called, <br />But no, she stood taller than them all <br />For she had a talent that best explained, <br />Said, 'I'm a Hard Rocking Momma, that's my name! <br /> <br />(A tribute to a lady, now gone but not forgotten.) <br /> <br />s<br /><br />Sidi J.
