International Women’s Day Limerick
Tomorrow, March 8, is International Women’s Day. So I thought I’d celebrate with a limerick:
International Women’s Day Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
U.S. women are under attack.
We’ve gone backwards, alas and alack.
Our plight is irrational.
Mark International
Women’s Day — Get off our back!

I’m ‘Woman,’ so hear me now roar:
I’m not a slut nor a whore,
so I hope I’m persuasive.
No law that’s invasive
should be up for vote on the floor.
Happy International Women’s day, especially to all brave women who fought for a world where women and men have equal opportunities, rights and status in the society.
International day of woman it is
honor by each her and his
Remember this day
no matter which way
all born from a womb not a whiz
Now whizzes essential tis true
In getting things started on cue
Yet a shout and a squirt
Are but a blipped blurt
On the landscape that brought you to you
Was a small bairn less than three
Fascinated with his mum’s swelling belly
When he found out a baby was growing inside
He said with a grinning pure possible pride
That he’d switch and not a man but a woman he’d be
The young mum had raised him sweet and so dear
Without a hint of gender constraining bar here
Looked at her bright eyed small son
knew the time had so early begun
The creative input of father made clear
A woman’s hand rocks the cradle – all that
But wears also on head many a hat
From draped burka flowed land
To conducting a band
A woman is far more off her rocker than that!
Thanks Rj and Pearl for your clever verse!
So much fun Madeline… Surprised that more did not join in… !
Thanks, Pearl! Me too. :)
