How funny my two Degrees make you bemused
the position of women now,
its all over the news
I’m sorry my credentials make you feel ‘funny’
and that you don’t like me because you know you can’t fuck me
I’m sorry when I speak you don’t know what to say
that my differing views might get in your way
I’m sorry your finger so heavily lifted
to shush me,
showed how little you’ve shifted
But really, the problem for you is quite real
see, I’m not sorry at all for the way that you feel
I’m a woman, not someone who can’t think for themselves
in fact, that is something that I do quite well
and when in the workplace, even if its outdoors
please don’t speak to me as though I do your chores
The world is a-changing and you’ll be left behind
I’m could be more capable than you, you might find
If you opened your eyes and got over yourself
You might realise that my knowledge could be of some help
Now, in times gone by perhaps your ‘shush’ would have worked
for a while at least while I evaluated my worth
but now all it does is show where true colours lie
I expect you thought as a woman i’d cry
Instead i’ll speak up, to the powers that be
and your poor attitude might see you job-free!
And perhaps you might think for some seconds a few
that you could listen every now and then too.
