I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand. Please, don't cry now

Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate
For all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion, trying to change you

I want what you are
It's just me, I'm hot never cold
I can rock it anyway that I choose
I'm so good (Oh yeah)
I make up all the rules

Testosterone leaves it's mark
The shadow on the psyche is dark.
But females prefer to keep theirs low
It helps to keep that 'oestrogen glow'
With monthly, fiercesome energies rising
Makes it all the more surprising
And yet those males will never, ever get to know.

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

How about gender, Twitter and plot?

Those from the University of Leeds.

It's all about you, (its all about you)
Its all about you baby, (its all about)
It's all about you, (its all about you)
It's all about you,

Celery by Nash, short and sweet. I like it Grin

Here is the celery remix, note the poetic apostrophes

Testosterone raw
Develops the jaw
Testosterone block'd
Most people are shock'd
At halting fertility
Achieving sterility
Gunpowder, treason and plot.

Last line a bit shit. Apt but shit.

@Prawnofthepatriarchy, medical exam proves nothing because an active teen can lose her hymen easily without having sex. Your school were assholes. Flowers

EmpressOfSpartacus · 22/06/2018 12:50

Leedsettes?

TerfsUp · 22/06/2018 12:35

Haha!

We need a limerick for Leedsettes.

There was a young ally from Goldsmiths
Who believed bio sex was the stuff of myths
To mumsnet he wandered
But his arse he was handed
So he fled back to twitter and put us all on lists

One fine day
In the middle of the night
Two dead (wo)men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

Grin @ cow tribute poetry.

I love this thread.

Wake up
Grab a brush and put on a little makeup

"They should have asked my Husband" - So brilliantly observed and true. I feel a name change coming on sometime soon...

Anlaf · 22/06/2018 10:42

Wonderful Science

I did not know that Pam Ayres did poetry, I only knew her off the telly. What a good thread

ErrolTheDragon · 22/06/2018 10:25

That's the perfect poem for mansplainers!

Sciencelogic · 22/06/2018 09:02

Here's an excerpt from 'They should have asked my husband'.

...Upon these areas he brings his intellect to shine,
In a great compelling voice that's twice as loud as yours or mine.
I often wonder what it must be like, to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self confident and....
wrong

Pam Ayres

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius-you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a know-it-all

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve-just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place

Sciencelogic · 22/06/2018 08:44

Wicked
'Young hearts run free'
Aahhh, I remember those lyrics, I was at secondary school yet the words resonated even then.
I wonder why that was, when so much of my life hadn't yet begun?

Love Wendy Cope.

I've just headed over to Pam Ayres website to read "They should have asked my husband"
Brilliant, so true.

Anlaf · 22/06/2018 08:06

Ooh! I have never really got poetry, which is probably a personal failing, but i luffs Wendy Cope:

1.

HE TELLS HER

He tells her that the earth is flat —
He knows the facts, and that is that.
In altercations fierce and long
She tries her best to prove him wrong.
But he has learned to argue well.
He calls her arguments unsound
And often asks her not to yell.
She cannot win. He stands his ground.

GeorgeFayne · 22/06/2018 07:57

@Bowlofbabelfish

My confusion there was really about the original post. (I didn't know they were plagiarized lyrics, and just thought them to be some awful poem.)

That said, your explanation of British humor and its role in peaceful protest, (Taking The Piss), was excellent and MUCH appreciated. It clarified a lot for me about various MN conversations. As usual, well done and THANK YOU.

GeorgeFayne · 22/06/2018 07:46

@thebewilderness
Pacific Time Zone, huh? Are you in the western US? Because I am as well. :)

Sorry to hear about your sleep troubles, but I would probably also avoid surgery, too!

ErrolTheDragon · 22/06/2018 00:38

It is very Nash-y, I only realised the misattribution because I went looking for the riposte.

I was surprised to see ding-a-long was 1972, I thought I was younger than 11 when we'd sing it giggling in the playground and saying the ban was silly 'but he says it's silver bells'
