Thank God it Has All Changed.

Embroidery in Stuart times kept women needled down
And fiddling with their fingers whilst their husband’s whored and laughed
In jolly place...the children slumbered in their cradles.

Embroidery, Victoria’s Time...kept women needled down
And fiddling with their fingers whilst their husbands whored and laughed
In jolly places...and children slumbered in their cradles.

Watercolour in Edwardian times...kept obedient wives at home
Painting pretty flowers and gardens with sun hats on their heads
Whilst their husbands whored and laughed in Jolly Places
And children slumbered n their bedrooms.

And now it is today...what are the women doing...
Painting pretty flowers ...Learning French..?
Whilst their husband’s whore and laugh ...in Jolly Places
And children are on-line in duvet bed-rooms.

Thank God.... it has all changed.
