a famous lad once said,
whilst he lay upon his bed,
to his wife, I do believe,
that a woman ought want to suceed
in fact, he claimed, sure as day,
that men are just 'okay'
but for a lady to be right
she'd need to have the fight
to surpass her fellow 'dude,'
(please excuse me if i'm crude)
to do away with all tradition
and to gain herself ambition,
to not just mirror acts of man
but to outdo them when she can.
this man, a guy named leary,
thought (now here's his theory)
that women were not the same
but instead man's claim to fame
and, by golly, he was right
women ought to have the fight
to do away with all tradition
and to gain herself ambition.

to all my fellow women
who sit by and let men win
its time to play your part
and show the men who have no heart
just who really own the world
and to pass on from girl to girl
what a wise man once campaigned,
that the strength of women can't be restrained.

A/N. Feminist enough for ya? I know I didn't capitalise. Sue me.

P.S. "Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition" _Timothy Leary.

Wow!! interesting poem... I'm not quite sure what to think of it, it makes me laugh and yet there's something else there nagging at my brain to think about what's being said... I guess I'm going to have to go back and re-read this again!

I liked the style you used to write this, I've seen it before but I can't remember what it is called?

Thanks for sharing this one, I found that I enjoyed reading this poem a lot

"I pray thee, O God, that I
may be beautiful within."
