Sovereign Girl … 1905 - 2k13
Kicked on beach cockle shells
then the office guys to hell
the prickly sand tickles my toes
and his laughter, that he knows
the bosses work I so often do
why I like him, don’t have a clue
late to bed and early to rise
nets me bonus, worldly prize
with the alarm, shoot out of bed
fumble and clamp its button dead
thirty minutes of a race in time
switch on tube to scan the crime
hair and hands tomorrow then
laptop purse and favorite pen
at the bus stop same old scene
a million times I must have seen
I hate their frills and lacy girls
The dumb pouts and their curls
What’s up beat in a gender trap
All they need is a firmly slap
Daunted not by brawn or hurl
Brainy and brash is sovereign girl

I think it's an ode to a girl who is self-assertive and smart and does not like to act coyly. It's written with a feeling of respect for all working girls to keep their morale high. A perfect ten for such a serious at the bottom but written with a light pen composition.
