The Lady is for burning

The Lady is for Burning

We could melt down the Iron Lady
But there's no foundry to be found
 We might find it hard to cremate her
 When the coal is all still in the ground
 
Perhaps we could snatch a milk float
And deliver her on our round
Or put out her funeral to tender
And see if we can save a few pounds

Do you think she'll hear voices of angels
Or the baying of the hounds?
Pandora
 Leaving this place for another
Epimetheus, left unwound   

Mike O'Leary - April 2013
