A Lunchbox Worthy of the Cause

I'm not one to purchase anything in a museum gift shop, but on a recent trip to the Wisconsin Veterans Museum, I was won over by a Rosie the Riveter lunch box because:
(1) my kid needed a new lunch box, and (more importantly)
(2) it was a Rosie the Riveter lunch box

I don't think I'm the exact personality type to have been a suffragette, but I can promise you, I'd have been a riveter.

Cap'n Lunk - Pure Pirate Gold


















She’s our beloved rascal, mischievous and true,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Still trying to sleep in our bed the whole night through,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

She owns a chest of Spanish gold,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
With a ton of costumes in the middle hold,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Always a-twirl with a song to spare,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Chasing the cat around in just her underwear,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Her favorite snacks are a bit strange,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
It’s mustard or capers when we are out of range,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

A Lunk at the core with magical curls,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Our sweet Avitali, the fairest among girls,
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
