No Gwtw2 Poem by Ima Ryma

'Gone with the Wind' was the one book
Margaret Mitchell wrote and had
Published. She never undertook
Any sequel, which some thought sad.
What happened to Scarlett and Rhett?
Would their love be gone with the wind?
Was there hope for happiness yet,
Found perhaps in a sequel's end?
But Mitchell flat out said no deal,
Refused until her dying day.
Some drunk driver was behind the wheel,
And Mitchell just got in his way.

The end is often tragedy,
And no sequel will ever be.
