Women


Image of pretty women sitting or lying on grass Women

Women are like minicabs -
in town many you can see,
You watch and wonder which to trust
to take you where you want to be.

You worry they won't speak your language,
or will ask you for the route,
or have a change of heart mid-journey
and leave you lost and destitute.

Of course there're bloody great mini-cabs -
kind and true and free of fuss
whilst others would dance upon your grave,
and make you wish you'd gone by bus.

(A whimsical tribute to poet Wendy Cope)
