Cave Girl by Mae West

Just thought I'd share with y'all one of my favourite poems!
Can't believe Mae West wrote this, and at 15 years old, no less!



Cave Girl
by Mae West, age 15

I got my smile from the sunshine

I got my tears from the rain

I learned to dance when I saw a tiger prance,

And a peacock taught me to be vain.

A little owl in a tree so high,

He taught me how to wink my eye

I learned to bill and coo from a turtledove.

And a grizzly bear taught me how to hug.

But the guy that lived two caves from me,

He taught me how to love.
