The Tupperware Party

Tupperware supper?
The News?
Means nothing to me
What’s so new about it anyway?
History repeating itself because we’re told it does – was
Who are you?
Do you have a mirror to gaze into, not clouded?
Are you shrouded in silk?
Milk it for all its worth – the earth?
Score more than you need – let it bleed? 
Who are you voting for?
Come on Ladies
Join the party.  Let’s go.
We’ll demo femininity, not politicians
Take your positions, please
Freedom is in the knowing
It’s all in the sowing
Whose party is this anyway?
Equality of the sexes, we cry!
Didn't we already do this - took off our bras in protest,
then the rest
Why?
Now we need implants.  Fantastic.
I hate plastic
Equality for me and you? How about for men too?
Like they have it easier than you?
Working all day (but it’s their job, you say)
Okay, I get it – you have to work too
Wear a suit – tend to other’s wishes
Go home, wear a dress, do the dishes,
ask the kids how they are
Just fine
We’re all fine
Just give it more time
We’re due me and you
Party’s over
Thank you Mrs. –  I’m glad you came
Equality, yes
Sameness – insane
