A Woman for Prime Minister



This may be the year when the time has now come
To end seeing women as just slightly dumb,
And instead look around for a feminine hand
To stand at the tiller and govern the land.
For women are often more careful than men
In thinking things through, and especially when
Much is not clear and it’s quite hard to know
Where the results of decisions might go.
Women more often are used to the role
On keeping a focus on more than one goal.
They’ve had to be strong, with a grip on affairs,
For a chance to be leader to ever be theirs,
For people still judge them more harshly than men,
Quoting all failures again and again.
Women in general tend to be clam,
Realising anger can often cause harm.
They don’t tend to shout and to say “Look at me”,
And constantly scheme to be top of the tree.
But under the quietness you’ll frequently find,
Ability linked with a razor sharp mind.
So maybe a women might be the right one
To lead us all forward and see things get done.
