(It's next week, sisters)
Raise your voices; sisters speak!
International Women’s Week.
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 or 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.
oh john. so much hope and brightness laid bare in that last assault!
(i laughed several times but still, we should all be ashamed)
As a poetaster of some renown, I welcome thoughts on whether this little masterpiece is an anacreontic. I am sure more knowledgable minds can enlighten me.
Sorry, Graham. You are right. I should have said "...trying to stand firm...".
How the world has changed, Colin. When this came out it was funny because it was ridulous. Nowadays we all have the right to be female (or male) as we wish.
Oh no! You just did it again!
Cut yourself some slack JC
Just doing my bit to stand firm with the ladies, fellas.
Oh - that naughty pay-off after such an inspired call to arms.
They have got what man has not...
I'll leave you to work out what is what!
Oh dear! John.
You're a marked man now. Be afraid!

What we think makes us ashamed, Stu; what we feel makes us laugh.
