Inspired by the six words thread...FWR haiku anyone?

[WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles]

(Disclaimer I am extremely amateur at this, and welcome any feedback on errors)

Inspired by the "MN in six words" thread in FWR (annoyingly I can't link as I am on the app) I thought it would be good to have a FWR haiku thread.

Here are my efforts to start us off (I never know whether to capitalise or not, and I also want to use "silenced" but can't work out whether it is 2 or 3 syllables )

Women of Mumsnet
are not witches for burning
We will not submit

Pretend all you want
but men are not women and
biology rules

There once was a lady called Lily
Who was ever so giggly and silly
She tried to go swimmin'
When the pool was all wimmin'
Nothing happened and I didn't get banned.

There once was a woman called Stella, who said misogyny could apply to a feller.
She came on this site, women thought she was shite,
And decamped to Twitter to tell her.

Men want everything
Our words and our safe spaces
Why can’t we say no?

I think that's the best thing I've ever written on MN.

Yes well done Tinsel you've nailed it there

@Masdintle

Yes well done Tinsel you've nailed it there

I think that's this year's FWR contributor of the year award in the bag again

Okay, here’s a quick limerick (not my best):

There once was a woman called “cis”
Who said “I don’t recognise this”
The menz put her right
And said babe, don’t fight
Nah, boys you’re just taking the piss

Okay, I've nicked this and mucked about with it - I apologise in advance for reminding anyone who recognises it of the extremely sexist original.. (I'm kind of ashamed of knowing this one..)

There was a young woman called Jill
Who started on 'T' for a thrill
They removed her vagina
In North Carolina
And cut off her breasts in Brazil

What is a woman
Conceptual being, or
One of blood and bone

Gold lamé handbags
do not make a woman real
Only born female

Quick rhyming couplet

If you choose to call me cis
On your chips I will piss

If man is woman,
then can the flowers take
to the air like birds?

The men shout and pout
Winds blow, leaves fall, seasons change
Women will persist

This is a very good thread I see we are branching out into limericks so I shall give it some thought overnight!

I just speak the truth
Sex is not a state of mind
This witch will not burn

heightening summer
flowing dress on young woman
men desire can’t be

He, she. him. her, they,
them, its, ze, zie, hir, hirs, xe
Pronoun confusion

Woman know thyself -
Steadfast, immutable, fact:
Female, always female.

Sigh I was sure I’d got the syllables correct...let me re-think!

I love this!

Winter turns to spring.
Eggs to chickens. Night to day.
Men to women? No.

These are so clever, but then you are a clever bunch.

Women need to see
Gender is misogyny
The cult of penis worship

Wolves in sheep’s clothing

• Or in sheep’s stereotypes -

Are still fucking wolves.

How about:

Woman know thyself -
Steadfast, immutable, fact:
Female, always so.

Waves upon the shore
Night follows day, follows night
Truth remains the truth.
