Men Only Groups
Men only groups
Damned to a sexist era
‘Bi-gone age’, women rage
Kill the dinosaur institutions
Groups of men muttering
Masonic words a stuttering
Men only groups
Old workingmen’s clubs
Piss up in glorified pubs
Slagging off their women
Sad gits ogling at women’s outfits
Institutions from out of the arc
Trying to cop off in the park
Men only groups
Even the church isn’t left in the lurch
Caught out in some old vestry
Now there’s a line for controversy
All these institutions all noble and tall
Male bastions guarded like the Berlin wall
Men only groups no more
Hang on for that ‘one moment in time’
Who the hell was elected to tear them apart?
What’s with all these deals?
Let’s get onto ‘Sheila’s Wheels’
For some ‘bonza’ new deal for society
Men only groups no more
Can’t have ‘men only’ insurance
For ‘bootiful’ car insurance deals
Best get onto ‘Bruce’s Wheels’
Well,’ tie me Kangaroo down sport’
You can’t have that, its sexist
Men only groups no more
Women only groups there aren’t many lads
Did a Google search! Only 19 million hits
That doesn’t half get on my my nerves
Guys are you going to join the Women’s Institute?
So lads lets tear down these sexist monoliths
Monoliths that bar men from joining
No! So bring on those men only groups
Gay men’s groups, Single Dad’s Groups
Men’s writing groups, Disabled Men’s Groups
Have a ‘Free-mason’ with every copy of the Daily Mail
Fight back for our rights, this imbalance to redress
Burn your pants boys rid society of this sexist mess

Hello, Phil
I like your poem. Unfortunately, this is quite profound division in today’s World. You have captured the entire essence of it. I wonder why there is no equality if comes to both sexes. We have to remember the fact that woman is holding onto two jobs in order to support the family. Often working outside home, and then doing all the chores at home. I think we need more balance in every society. This is just much fairer then to see only Man Clubs. Thought provoking and educational write.
Thank you,
