Here's my take on the outsider's collab. Ada Lovelace is an idol of mine and most definitely was an outsider in her time. A maverick, a loose cannon! :) Check her out on Wikipedia she was an utter legend. Daughter of the poet Byron and considered by many to be the world's first computer programmer for her work on Babbage's analytical engine.


She was the charmer’s daughter


But it must be said


Not the only one


The poet and the baroness


Had wished instead


To bear an heir and son


 


She was not what they wanted


 


The furies were on her shoulders


The sickness was in her skin


But Ada Augusta showed us


That even the damned can win


When the trials test us


We don’t give in


 


The illicit antics


Of the lustful lord


Were passed your way for shame


But the old romantic


Never struck a chord


You never were the same


 


You were not what she dreaded
