A lone feminist a lone feminist
A lone feminist onward.
One in the
valley of establishment,
Rode the lone feminist.
'Forward, the lone feminist!'
"Charge for the Tallywackers!" she
said.
Into the valley of establishment
Rode the lone feminist.
'Forward the lone feminist!'
Was the woman dismayed?
Not that the
woman knew,
A nation had blundered.
Hers not to make reply, HA!
Hers not to reason why, HA, HA!
Hers but to do
& die, HA, HA, HA!
Into the valley of establishment,
Rode the lone feminist. Tallywackers to right of her,
Tallywackers to left of her,
Tallywackers in front of her.
Teased and turgid.
Stormed
at with patronization and sexism,
Boldly she rode and well.
Into the jaws of establishment,
Into the mouth of misogynist.
Rode
the lone feminist.

Flashed all her sabering wit,
Flashed as it lands hits.
Sabering
the runners everywhere,
Charging a political party,
While all the world wondered.
Plunged in the old boys smoke,
Republican
and Democrat.
Right through the glass ceiling she broke.
Reeled from fate's cruel stroke,
Shattered & sundered.
She
rode back, but not,
Not the lone feminist.
Tallywackers to right of her,
Tallywackers to left of her,
Tallywackers
behind her,
Teased and turgid,
Stormed at with patronization and sexism.
While advisors & strategists fell,
She
had fought so well.
Came through the jaws of establishment,
Back from the mouth of misogynist.
All that was left
of her,
A woman most bare.
When can her glory fade?
O the wild charge she made!
All the world
wondered.
Honor the charge she made.
Honor the lone feminist,
Noble lone feminist.
