International Women's Day

If you’re a woman, whoop-dee-doo!

Today’s the day that’s just for you

To celebrate the role you play

In life, despite unequal pay.

 

There’s surely been some progress made,

Perhaps deserving a parade,

For you can go to school and vote,

Run for office – win and gloat.

 

You can own a home or store –

They can’t stop you anymore.

Join the army, lead a band

Wed your girlfriend, buy some land.

 

Host a talk show, get real rich;

Run a business, make a pitch.

Write a memoir, practice law,

Protest ‘til your throat is raw.

 

Still, you aren’t equal yet

For some still see you as a threat

And if your rights held equal sway,

You wouldn’t need this special day!
