She exploded on the punk scene
Armed to kill the patriarchy!
Her courage made women feel seen
When mosh pits served to demean.

She spoke strongly and men were scared.
She bucked their little fantasy.
And you could try her if you dared,
But then you’d be the punk, not she.

Those zombies never beat my will,
Although ink ribbons run out quick.
I know I’ll make it if I’m Jill.
She’s the master of the lockpick.

So sorry, Chris, but you’d just die.
You have more health, but not the swag.
Now, Jill’s sandwiches may be wry,
But all her guns are worth the brag. 

Munster

There once was a woman from Ulster.
She played basketball like an all-star.
She went to South Ireland.
And played really violent.
So now the folks think she’s a Munster.

With such star power and grace,
You may not have an Oscar—
But you’ve cemented your place.
No one has been where you are.

Did it occur to snubbers
That you showed power and love
Coexist in a woman.
Strength is beauty, forever.

You are the GOAT and the Queen.
Remember that the next time
You want to keep score, critics.
Superheroes are gold, too.

Give ‘em hell, Janelle! You never back down,
Walking with such balance; channeling Grace.
You showed us a world where black has renown. 
Your Afro-Futurism made us space.

You helped all the loners and each outcast, 
Because you proved being yourself is cool.
Embrace what makes you weird and make it last;
Fight oppression disguised as righteous rule.
