Poet's Corner

The long, hard fight for equal pay has its lighter moments - for example, it has inspired the lyrical side of one of our regular readers - as follows:

"On a cold and icy winter night up to St Bridgets we all did trot
to get a letter from the "council" and find out how much cash
we got

It was a bit of an anti-climax but we thought it will be fine
when a voice was heard: "Don't do it , don't sign the bottom line!"

So we all went back to Pat's house, where Agnes explained
things with all her might

And after a few gin and tonic, we thought maybe oor Agnes was right

So the next day, we got the ball rolling,and signed up with Stefan Cross
but with all her texts and emails we knew Agnes was our boss

After a long hard battle, they were wrong and Agnes was right
we all got our money and the "council"was right in the sh**e

So forget about your Browns and Camerons and all your dodgy
political men

I just wish we could vote for Agnes and get her into Number 10"
