The twin sisters were quite the pair,

who never walked with their nose in the air.

They sat together in church

and on the sidewalk they lurched

beneath their reputations maligned

because they owned the family mine.

It’s not only a man’s world

for there is always room for a girl

if she can prove

 to the crowd

she is more than loud

when putting up with vagrant looks

as she meticulously keeps the books.

Sarah was called “The Quill”

for errors in the books she killed

making sure every cent

was properly spent

and every ounce of the gold coming in

did not want wander to places of sin.

Jeanine was an equal with sight

and proved it by keeping the rights

of her clients in line

and filing in time

never complaining that she was tired

of filing all of the torts required.

They were called the nosey because

they took no guff from the fuzz,

or the banker’s complaints

or the bakers’ faints

or the judges in court

who pushed aside their torts.

It’s not easy to stand tall in town

when you’re wearing a legal gown

where all believe

you should do naught but conceive

and stay home with a child

and on the street be mild.

The Nosey Sisters proved men

were not the only ones with pens.

They fought for respect

and took life by the neck

and proved every day their worth

even though they both wore a skirt.
