POETRY Emma Jean Some say it's just a rumor... by David S. Smith April 29, 2006 Some say it's just a rumor Though some still can recollect The night that Emma Jean went partying' With her influential friends. She must have thought she had impressed The local socialites When she got an invitation To the hunting lodge that night. But the sheriff had no comment, And the Standard never said How she got to the infirmary And later wound up dead. Not the doctors or the lawyers Were able to explain The cigarette burns they found All over Emma Jean. And no one knows where Scottie was Or if he was involved. But it did seem strange to some No postmortem was performed. It doesn't really matter 'cause It's not just who you know. It's to whom do you belong And to whom can you be sold.
