Will Get Her Pension Same As Me

(A celebration of sex equality)

 

She will get her pension same as me

She says she wants equality

It is the justice for which her sex will strive

She has pressed for changes in the law

For all the wrongs she’s fighting for

So it’s not 60 anymore

She’s got to wait to 65.

 

She now thinks this can’t be right

One more mysoginistic slight

Like dirty low-down tricks men play through history;

She wants parity of wage

But when it comes to pension age

“It should be 60” she will rage

But she will get it same as me.

 

She says those who wear a frock

Found changes to the law a shock

Too short a notice without warning or a sign

Loud objections that one hears

Despite announcements known for years

Realigning with male peers

She gets hers when I get mine.
