1940s Pin-up Girls

Remembrance day is coming soon

But who remembers us?

The women who marched to the battle tunes

Women you could trust.

But wait of course you’d remember me

If I had looked like this

Conforming to your ideal was key

Made me hard to resist

You turned me into a pin up girl

There to strut my stuff

You’ be glad to give me a whirl

If I were not so tough

Well let me tell you soldier boy

I’ve got brains and brass

I’m so much more than a pretty toy

With boobs and shapely arse

I mattered to the world back then

And I worked it out alone

I stood tall in the absence of men

And still maintained the home.

So there!
