Four lovely ladies to Gasparilla did come These four searched and found a great sight And proceeded to Watch the beauty and fun of the night Ray Ann, Joanne, Marcie and Christine by name Found themselves in midst of the game Glitter and sparkle mayhem and fun There was so much to see before it was done As the floats went past and their excitement rose An idea was formed as beads gathered around their toes A group of their own would be just the thing For everyone to have an incredible fling Fabulous gals would get together In friendship and fun, helping and caring While costumes and jewels were made for the wearing A meeting was made It held but a few But word was out About the new Krewe Each meeting there were more The hard work had begun So many decisions But the work was actually fun First a name, Would it be GRITS or FLAPPERS? DIVAS or BELLES Whatever it would be we needed a name that sells! A name, one that would last One to hold up but we picked one to fast GRITS was the one we wanted but couldn’t hold GLITS was the one we picked but that turned out too bold None of us succumb to screeching or the vapors We just went about renaming all the papers Now the Krewe of Southern Sisterhood Was well and truly formed A name to be Proud of and take Tampa Bay by storm Each sister was special and worked from the heart The committees and rules were off to a good start Marcie, Joanne and Karrie spent many a long night Writing and creating until dawns first light They produced a format in which our rules could be stated And once approved no longer debated Nothing but nothing would deter their goal Not whining or complaining Or Karrie giving birth to a new soul A leader was needed and we did not have to search far Rae Ann had been our creator and now was our shinning star With a tinkle of her bell she called the sisters to order She held us together better than with cement or mortar! A theme was needed to set the standard for our group Gracious ladies of the south, would it be a bustle or a hoop? We appointed a Diva of costume and style Allison accepted with a small gentle smile The Victorian look was victorious Lace, pearls and hats would make us look glorious We needed a time to gather and chat To meet new ladies And wear a great hat Danielle and Lily came up with the key They suggested we all create a tasteful tea With finger sandwiches, magnolias and Earl Gray Our guests would arrive and be treated the southern way Gentle and kind, gracious in living Our mission is one that we want to be giving Christine went and searched She came up with our purpose Women in need that could not safely surface All of our sisters have worked very hard Now we have new ones to add to the card So now that alas the dirty work is done Let us don our pearls and hats And get on with the fun!
