elizabeth bishop at 16 yrs of age

I introduce Penelope Gwin,
A friend of mine through thick and thin,
Who's travelled much in foreign parts
Pursuing culture and the arts.
"And also," says Penelope
"This family life is not for me.
I find it leads to deep depression
AndI was born for self-expression."
And so you see, it must be owned
Miss Gwin belongs to le beau monde.
