The Gender Pay Gap Is Also an Opportunity Gap – TLNT

Listen to poem:

*Image of Gender Gap by TLNT. Parity Parody I was just twenty, was young and healthy, and I said let's dance, Turned to you Big Ben, said, first kiss say when, you said not a chance. I was now thirty, I played a small bit, sort of a big hit, They made me a clown, the small kids attacked, Pennywise from IT! I planned at forty, thought to be sporty, got you a "Hottie" Till out of the cake, in his birthday suit, grandson went potty. I knew at fifty, what do I get for one with everything, That's when you said a set of Bone China, two cats from Beijing. I had turned sixty, said you're pretty, but I said something dumb, Turned where glass is, eyes like molasses, I said you're wearing them! 2022 August 15
