I am a minor miner girl Living in a go and get 'em world We come in by the dozens And I think you all know how this story goes I try to please everyone around me Forgetting what's important And as we all know that isn't the best I should use my mind more often To guard my sooty heart All you other minor miner girls know what I'm saying But I love and I love and I love Never stopping to think of the consequences Sure to follow I just dive in heart first hoping to not hit the ground And minor miner girls you know it's true We try so **** hard And we always fall Straight on through to the hellish pain that awaits I'm sorry if I upset you My dear fellow minor miner girls But we need to grow up And we need to exhibit some sort of conceit Not to the point of egotism and bigotry Just to the point of safety To the point where we aren't always stepped on And can roll in the Major Miner Girls league I love you all Because that's who I am But as by unspoken and now finally written law We minor miner girls abide by I'm still learning to love myself So minor miner girls Raise your pickaxes and your shovels Toss off your hardhats Because we are about to rumble with The world outside our mine We will be Major Miner Girls
A follow up poem to my previous poem "As Bailey So Elegantly Put It" which was a response to Bailey Martin's "Coal"
