A Woman's Rules
I reflect, as I am turning sixty-two,
This I've learnt in life's so-called school,
A woman must live by her own rules,
What does self-determination mean to you?
What is an example of these rules?
Well, don't cook if you don't want to,
Collect lots of take-away menus,
Or, indeed, microwave food,
No need to do what you don't want to,
What does self-determination mean to you?
Find something else you'd like to do!
This I've learnt in life's so-called school,
A woman must live by her own rules!
