She Took a Bullet



She took a bullet
But it didn't slow her down;
She raced forward in a flash
In her bloodstained gown.
Her judo was superb
Her karate the best;
When she got up a head of steam
She was way above the rest.
Her attack was fierce
They never had a chance;
They should know by now
She always comes to dance.
