Poem

Cosmopolitan Magazine! 
The bible of my youth 
How to be a ‘modern girl’
In this brave new modern world
 
Pages of ‘recipes’ for how to live my life 
How to be a bright young thing 
And for later,
How it would be when I became a wife
 
Because you see
According to ‘Cosmo’
It wasn’t going to be 
Just how it had always been 
For generations of women from the North

It promised a new dawn 
Where men would be 
Sensitive to emotions
Active in childcare 
Attentive around the home 

They wouldn’t just come in
Flop in front of the TV
Expecting everything to be done 
 ‘Cosmo’ promised me a modern kind of man

Believing it (every word) 
To be true 
I proudly showed my Nan 
And declared!

Nan!  This is what husbands are going to be like 
When I have one!
Nan just sighed
Shook her head and said 
“Not round here they’re not!”
