Now she fights corporate greed
and the CEO's heed

This one needs a little explaining. See the NY Times article below. This is how you get your voice heard.

"A PROFESSORIAL woman with a sculpted puff of gray hair, Sister Nora grew up in Limerick County, Ireland. She dreamed of becoming a missionary in Africa, but in 1959, she arrived in Pennsylvania to join the Sisters of St. Francis, an order founded in 1855 by Mother Francis Bachmann, a Bavarian immigrant with a passion for social justice. Sister Nora took her Franciscan vows of chastity, poverty and obedience two years later, in 1961, and has stayed put ever since." -New York Times
-I had to do one about Sister Nora. She grew up in Limerick County for goodness sakes. And for those of you who read the whole article - tomorrow's limerick might have to be about fracking.
