Ruth Westheimer

Audacious, funny and wise.
Long time proponent of keeping your eye on the prize. 
Her early beginnings fraught by escaping the Nazis. 
Her global success as an-out-of process proxy. 
The tutelage of pleasure earned her a P.H.D.
Her moxie and gusto blended into joie de vivre. 
Her sexual knowledge ran deep and wide- go ahead derive some pleasure, don’t run, don’t hide.
She was married 3 times by the age of 32.
Took her 3 tries to find her love so true.
She stood 4 feet 6, her voice rang a German- tinged English. 
Hardly boasted as the prototype for a lady in show business.
Provocative sexual banter kept her gabbing on late night tv.
“Sexually Speaking” her form of therapy.
Baruch dayan emet Dr. Ruth.
A life so well lived with a chim chim cher-ee.
A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be.
