• if you want a word for mettlesome
    my little sister would do
    she plays outside all day long
    and rolls in the dirt too

    Yes, mettlesome would describe
    my sister well
    if she gets a rip in her brand new jeans
    she acts like its all swell

    my mom could yell and holler
    all through the day
    but it will not abrade her spirit
    no matter what you say
    if you were womdering what mettlesome means
    to be full of mettle, strength of spirit, and vigor
    my little sister is all those things
    all you need to do is add a little sugar
