/// She’s a young Woman Scrubbing a Kettle
who takes pride bringing shine to the metal.
Spending multiple hours
using brute force she scours;
now in arm-wrestling no man beats Gretel.
/// Gretel’s goal when she scrubs the pot clean
is to polish it to a bright sheen,
so that on close inspection
she can see her reflection
in the copper with no trace of green.
