Bonnie |

|
|
Bonnie was a Roller Doll |
|
A punk third-wave feminist |
|
A hundred pounds and six feet tall |
|
She jammed with a heavy fist |
|
|
|
She wore skates of bloody red |
|
Flames tattooed on her arms |
|
She was a wildcat, it was said |
|
With a measure of girlish charm |
|
|
|
She skated the roller derby |
|
For almost sixteen years |
|
When she retired early |
|
Her team mates shed no tears |
|
|
|
She was a Jammer, they say the best |
|
But she burned out early on |
|
They say she lost her zest |
|
When she put her tutu on |
|
