She wore that bright sweater
Like a breast plate.
It said things like:
It covers the back too. (knives impenetrable)
Chew the cud before you speak.
I have the facts so don’t assume.
I’ve faced bigger and come through.
It said
If you’re behind me,
You’re behind me for a reason.
Watch my lips they’re all smiling;
Watch my eyes they’re all knowing.
And it also said
My silence is my strength
And I'm just tickety boo.
