Second Childhood

Sunday... I celebrated my second childhood...
              ...in my own way...
Spent an enjoyable afternoon... watching
a kid flic on the tele...(Wu Lan)...
              ...and marveled…
at the good fortune...of girls today.

For today's girls have many more
choices... for tales of heroines ...capable…
                  ...strong...
        ...arse-kicking women...
who... can leap in and save the day.

Tossing off bullies left and right…
kicking butt and taking names.
Does my heart good to...
      ...see some self assertive ladies...
               ...for a change...

It's been a long time getting here
     ...in fact we've just begun...
So spare me the bullshit 'bout weak
women...cause anymore, Hon...
            ...it just ain't done…
