Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher 
thought no one could match her.
Her hair was laquered, never a mess;
she bought her knickers from M&S.

She did as she wanted to do -
and love her or hate her it's true -
she thought she was right,
ignoring the plight
of millions in the dole queue.

The poll tax was a big mistake;
her name was hated in its wake.
Replaced by Major, 'No,' she cried.
Some even partied when she died.

She was one of those go big types and one of the few whose names I recall outside US politics. Congrats on a job well done

Dear Jack, this is fantastic! You boiled down MT's public persona with poetic finesse. If I remember correctly, Reagan and Thatcher were termed "political soulmates" lol! They were like two peas in a pod for sure. A superb piece. Warmest wishes my poetry friend.. ~Susan

Boris could have learned a thing or two about her decorum. Does he even have a hairdresser?
