"Brave Kate Shelley"       Poem by ~Hailey E. Yocum

Young Kate Shelley
Brave as can be
She went on a journey
A life-risking journey

Young Kate Shelley
Brave as can be
Saw Engine 11 go down
Then rushed down to help

Young Kate Shelley
Brave as can be
Had a bloody travel to the Moingona Station
"OW!" ties, and splinters jabbing her in the hands and knees

Young Kate Shelly
Brave as can be
Bloody but sure, she would arrive to the Moingona Station
Cooed for help, everyone safe and sound!
