It was always Amy or Jo.
Evil or Greatness; Sly or Mean.
Antagonist or protagonist; Yes or No.
A question of which way you lean,
While Beth’s goodness went unseen.

And Meg too was forgotten,
Wishing her husband spoiled her rotten.
It all came back to Jo and Amy’s strife.
Amy would marry rich and not downtrodden.
And Jo would not be a wife.

Their stubbornness was not a trend,
But they shared more in common in the end.
More than last names—or Laurie as a friend.
All strong women who would never bend.
