Bearing the Tubman name
Robert gained instant fame
But he had his Mother’s wit
Built just to Robert’s fit
In his heart and mind
On mission for humankind
Informed by the given normality of his class
And the token dismality of the mass
Robert felt the gap
Right under his cap
A large and widening gap
From large and broadening tap
That means prosperity for a few people
And poverty for most people
Such an objective condition
Became Robert’s selective motivation
To become a brilliant lawyer
Accessible to the lowest layer
Committed to closing the yawning gap
Dedicated to shuting the daunting gap
Joined by a wonderful Swedish Queen
Making sure that Robert stays clean
Together, they brought forth wonderful children
To make our one world better for all kindren
Now that Robert is seventy – five
Let us praise him for doing better than survive
