Sojourner Truth made her famous "Ain't I a Woman?" speech in defense of women's rights. I think she would make the following speech to Republicans in Congress now:
I's wonderin' why all these here men tellin' wimmin folk 'bout havin' ch'ren.
Is you a woman?
You can't carry no baby in that there belly o' yo's and you sho' can't squeeze one out that tiny hole.
Is you a woman?
So why you tryin' to make women stop takin' birth control?
I tell you what. Women stop using they birth control when ya'll stop using yo' Viagra! Runnin' round here like a bunch horny goats jumpin' on females like tics on a dog and don't want them takin' nothin' to keep from havin' babies!
Is you a woman?
I keep askin' cause ya'll act like you know what's bes' fo' us. Well I got news fo' you! I give birth to fo'teen babies an' my back, my hips, and my bladder want you to know that aint good for nobody.
You keep tryin' to control wimminfolk but it was wimmin that give you life. We has babies when we want to and we nurse 'em and teach 'em to walk and talk. Everything you is you owe to a woman. So, until you is a woman put that thang back in yo' pants and stop pissin' on our rights!

- Observations From the Swamp
Many folks think we live in the nether regions of the earth here in Toledo, Ohio. However, Toledo is the birthplace of jazz great, Art Tatum, not to mention many other distinguished and accomplished AfrAms (African-Americans) who often remain unheralded and unrecognized in their home town. This swamp is a petrie dish swarming with undiscovered talent that the world may never know because there are too many slimey creatures down here in the swamp pulling down anyone who tries to climb out and come out into the warmth of the sun. This diva climbed into the swamp with one purpose - to rid the world of slime!

Also, sounds perfect for a one woman performance. Two tickets here if you do. ~R
