Love Poem: Fearless Girl

Fearless Girl

On Wall Street there's a statue
Of a mean and charging bull.
The tourists love to pose
As his cojones get a pull.

But lately, that same sculpture's
Facing off with someone new - 
A saucy girl in bronze
Who's very full of derring-do.

With hands on hips and knowing grin,
Defiant in her stance,
She seems to pose a challenge
Like, "Hey Bull, you wanna dance?"

The message rings out loud and clear - 
Though men once ruled the world,
You'd better make some room because
Our female flag's unfurled!
