The Sisterhood

Standard
Brooke Van Velden has a way with the flick of her hair
a nonchalant movement that says to us all, she just doesn’t care

Not a wit or a worry about changing the Bill that will
stop fair payment claims for our sisterhood, how dare she

but you see she’s in thrall to David the Atlas guy, he of
the Treaty Bill if you will, and the school lunch revamping

an 8 % vote but don’t worry, he’s stamping all over the PM
our hapless, and hatless, and utterly witless blue suited man

who always gets tongue-tied while trotting out slogans
wherever he can things like What I’ll say to you – yet he

hasn’t clue he’s the fmcg guy, aisle ends all the way
most of the time on a plane, and flying away from us

while Winnie takes charge blaming all things too woke
crying get back to basics where a bloke is a bloke

and a sheila knows better than Winnie for sure
when it comes to the pay check the bloke he gets more

how else could he cop up for all those blue suits
shiny shoes and fine dining, our Winnie’s a winner

Brooke Van Velden is simply a total beginner
She’s sold out the sisterhood but not on her own

shoulder to shoulder the girls they lined up
Erica, Nicola, Judith, Louise, a new breed of women

all eager to please David Seymour … ?

Bring back Marilyn Waring a girl with some guts
or some guys from the back bench could throw us

a crutch, it’s not as if equal pay is asking too much

The ballot box girls is our only solution, get started
campaigning, there’s no absolution

for girls with the hair they flick in defiance, pants suits
they button with casual compliance, it’s time for

a change, we need hearts in the mix

Gird your loins girls of all sorts and all chromosomes
the whole bloody alphabet and all antinomes

Let’s show them what we think in 2026
