Remembering Roma

"Of course she is NOT allowed in here"

Men

roared the rules, "The Menzies" of Men

The Lounge Bar was off limits

but really, 

Did Roma care? 


Proxy Weddings and Exotic Love

Indonesian incarceration in WW2

teen childbirth and near death scurvy

beatings, deprivations and assorted atrocities 

liberation 1945 a released "survivor" 

a realized strong woman a growing son in tow

post war depression, migration, reunited then separation, 

new starts, new healing, new yoga, new countries befriended

Roma roamed and loved and lived large

A City Studio Women's Lib and All That Jazz

Pitt Street Roma's Brand of "Bend & Stretch" Opened 

The Lady Quite (NOT Quiet) About Town

There were stories to tell

and people to see and 

toes to be touched and 

New Love To Be Had

The Menzies Men Only Bar held NO Sway.

Breaking conventions if not rules or laws

Roma really held her self well

Roma Blair The Lady Whose Deportment (thanks June Dally Watkins)

She Took No Prisoners, always kind and gracious

She Expected NO Free Favors, always creative and attentive

She was Her Own Woman; took no crap and held her own,

erudite, articulate and ever so worldly

many men melted by her radiant laser soft glow

Roma simply embodied a centred Quiet Thunder

husbands One Two Three and many side lights of IYTA

TV Star and Guiding Light, 

a book or two and a diverse selection

dressed up fine, an active life

Her Ordered Pink Coffin a final dance of delight

Long may Roma be remembered 

That One Night She Said

"Well Fuck That Shit" 

(when The Many Menzies Men Aghast)

tried ever so hard to exclude 

The One Woman Who Really 

Knew Her Own 

Past.
