The Iron Mistress

there is much debate about the where, how and when in respect of the original Iron Mistress aka Mr. James Bowie's side kick.... the truth now lost in much fantasy and fiction....

The Iron Mistress

 

Hard as nails she was my friend
Newly shaped in forged time
Scalpel sharp and beautiful

But I could not make her mine

She was tough and strong, but a tender gentle side is needed too, if she didn't have that side then no regrets my friend ;)

Why did I think of chocolates? Hard on the outside but deliciously gooey on the inside. Instant response without any hesitation. Clever wording.
