Bongo In York

[jazzy_dave]

  Here is a pic of my friend Sharpie Bongo from a local festival reading some of her poetry.



This was taken in York at the Royal Oak and part of the Rebellion Punk Festival.


Here is a short poem on taxation by her, and quite amusing and correct.

14p Tax on Tampons- Could they be classed as "protective and necessary items to work"?

Oh government, how far reaching is your greed?
Not only am I in pain, tired and hormonal
YOU'RE FUCKING CHARGING ME TO BLEED!

Could I get a refund on my tax return, I ask of yer?
'Cause they stop my place of work
Looking like a massacre

This is a tax on women and I implore you to rebuff it.
Or like those pricey tampons
I shall tell you where to stuff it.

That is really good.
That's what I would classify as an Old White Man tax.
If Old White Men had a period every month, tampons would be given out free of charge. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gahhh, not only is this clever, it is also (alas) accurate. Like The Red Threat isn't ENOUGH. UGH.
