INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

entry picture

(I might have missed this opportunity were it not for Leonidas's reminder.  I am still a little unsure of the ending.  Do I ground it properly?  Let me have your thoughts.)

 

Raise your voices; have your say!

International Women’s Day.

Banish weakness.  Let’s be strong.

Time to right what has been wrong.

Linking arms in sisterhood,

Pledged to Justice, pledged to Good.

Standing proud and standing tall,

The worth of one the strength of all

Yellow, brown, black or white

Joined together in the fight.

Joined in gender, joined in name

Equally we are the same.

Bald or bushy, straight or dyke

All our fannies look alike.

I respectfully beg to differ about the last two lines, Helene. I think they are the finest two lines of verse I have ever written.

This is Miss O Gyny's cousin here. The ending is stupid John. But you can leave the last 2 lines in, imho (young generation text-talk for "in my humble opinion"), because your poetry makes me laugh. And tell wonderful Gert hi.

Is she a newcomer to the site, Graham? She never objected to it last year, or the year before, etc.
And thanks for the Likes, Red Brick, Tom, Aisha and Tom Merton.

I have received a complaint from a Miss O Gyny who seriously recommends you delete the last two lines.

You must have led a sheltered life my friend. They are all unique and not just how they look!
