INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S WEEK
(My support for the sisterhood)
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.

I suspect you may not be that familiar with my poems, Frances. Personally, I think they are two of the finest lines of verse I’ve ever written. The previous lines are trite pap.
On a more cerebral level you will have recognised the form - an anacreontic, a number of undefined lines consisting of seven syllables arranged trochaically.
