I once met a girl which had more
A survivor of many a great war
Born under the Aquarian moon
Introvert, but empathically in tune
She even had her own Etsy store.
Every where she goes, magic follows
She's more magical than the hallows
Pure freedom is what she enjoys
Divination is what she employs
Her oracle rivals that of Apollo's
She is masterful in astrology
But enough of the biography
Our story begins with chance
On the bloody shores of France
War, spies, and cryptography
As our boats landed at Normandy
Walking, a lady, fine and dandy
It happened fast and with a blur.
Bullets just seemed to avoid her
Her scent was of cotton candy
She preferred peace over war
But came were the horsemen of 4
She, then, chose the Allies' side
To end the Axis' unbridled pride
But she gave so very much more
As my men became discouraged
Her fearlessness encouraged
As the bullets dropped the men
She protected again and again
And their wounds she nourished
The Axis demonized her the sea witch
But healing was her god given niche;
A gift from the her goddess Brighid.
Her healing felt like an autumn breeze
Cooling and calming with every stitch
Goldenrod for the inflammation
Yarrow for burning sensation
Calendula to increase blood flow
All plants that she would grow
In preparation for this damnation
Before the war, years numbering five
To her a vision from Brighid did arrive
preparing her for what was to come
Requiring one with a green thumb
To keep freedom and liberty alive
Thus the oracle of Ireland arose
And looked upwards to the cosmos
It was her alone that turned the tide
And the Axis powers we finally denied
Coincidentally, her name was Primrose.
