“Heavens to Betsy”, has prompted this question <br />What about Betsy caused this expression? <br />How did she rate this “promised-land” present? <br />This gift from the Gods so particularly pleasant <br /> <br />The Gods didn’t choose Renee, Helen or Mary <br />Nor did they choose Jeannie, Ellen or Carey. <br />Could the roll of the dice of seven elevens <br />Be what gave Betsy the gift of the heavens? <br /> <br />Seven elevens, not lucky for most <br />Causes most gamblers to end up as toast <br />But some way or other, not clear to us mortals <br />Dice rolling Betsy streaked on through heavens’ portals<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heavens-to-betsy/
