I am a tomboy. As a child I wasn't sweet or mild, I needed no toys
and no dolls but bows and arrows I made myself. Sometimes elf, sometimes she-knight, rescuing boys from trees instead of them rescuing me. Already protector of the weaker, I got into fights, got beaten up, but never gave up.
Leader of rebellions, always Robin Hood, never Maid Marion. Alone I stood and alone I fell.
Now, I am all grown. Tonight I trade my armour for a ballgown. At last I found my hero. But just in case, I am keeping my bow.

    It is very sweet, Frenchie. I hope his armour stays shining, but very sensible to keep your options open.... but you're allowed to be a bit aquiver :-)

    And right you are.
