Ladylike.
Sit pretty. Close your legs. Make some room.
Sit up straight. Close your mouth. Make some cakes?
You are not a woman, those dirty, horrid things,
You are a lady – but do you have what that takes?
There’s a rule book, you know. Hope you’ve read every page.
So I’ll hand you the key so you can lock your own cage.
And hey, you might think some of it was your idea.
