The Sociology of the Empress and Mrs Thatcher

An empress, or the wife of an emperor, Had great domestic power outright, Tremendous personal dictation over, Her dressing aids and fashion sight. She could criticise the food for happiness, Sleep with whoever servants she liked, Could advise on political appropriateness, In matters important, by her mate hiked. Businesswomen in the seventies sank, Found it hard to surface in a male world, Because they were going out with rank, Downing the empress’s domestic hold. So Mrs Thatcher changed my life straight, Enabled many women to lead and earn, By retaining their domineering weight, Whilst determining, managing to govern. I did not give to her my vote, I rejected, But I sure did appreciate her step, progress, The connection between empress selected, And the businesswomen without regress.
