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

Dora Gouws, Into God's Hands

I
Dora was 82 this year
My onetime neighbor
Three years back
I was new again
From USA, I backtracked
She inspired me about Africa again

II
Jesus, she loved Thee well
We pray, shalom, live to tell
If an ordinary, great South African
Bye Tanie Dora, godspeed
You wanted to care for your needs
But Thatcher Home was there
For a while, you shared your flair

After the Funeral Vibes: Mrs Nita Douman

Walking out of church into the autumn morning
Among many this overwhelming feeling
There are no bad people, no addicts this day
Too beautiful and clean: the tall tree, the air, sky
Such a calmness descends
All seems well - no addictions
Not a day to spend frivolously
The gifts of God, generously
Given has sunk into all hearts
Thank you Mrs. Douman, fondly

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

The Thatcher Years

No poppies for madam
 that privilege is reserved 
for the common man.
Drape her coffin with Union jack
though there is no union for me.

Your guard of honour is expecting you,
made from the empty shell of boys
who left their dreams on Falkland hill.

This life that you once held
 will be remembered .  
The miner’s bones will
