SHOCKING PINK

PINK?

SHOCKING!

There's nothing wrong with dressing-up;

Nothing wrong with being pretty.

But the colour pink has taken-hold

In a way I think a pity.

Women have fought for equality

Ever since time began.

Not that they want to be masculine,

Always aping a man;

But because they want to be themselves,

Not assigned to a 'female' box.

And the pinking of femininity

Is what, quite honestly, shocks.

Little girls should be tom-boys,

If that's their inclination.

And infantile sexuality

Is just an abomination!

From the age of two our girls are taught

'Be pretty for nothing else matters',

As for growing into girlishness,

Well, that idea's in tatters!

'Pink for a girl and blue for a boy'

Has always been the saying,

But it was meant for new-borns,

Not little girls when they're playing.

All this gauze and tinsel stuff

Looks tacky, well and truly!

What's wrong with a little hoyden

Who's inclined to be unruly?

So Shocking Pink, for me, at least,

Means brain-washing half of youth.

All boys should be forced to dress in blue!

Stupid? Ain't that the truth!
