It is more than just girl power
It’s to make our future brighter
Global efforts and awareness
Education and freedom, that’s what we’re after

We can be whatever we want
To mother, sister, daughter, aunt
Ability to change the world
We can thrive coz we’re not simple tableau vivant

Girls, Girls, Girls for International Day of the Girl Child

The world would be total shit
Without a little girl in it
No laughter, nor giggles
No mystery nor riddles

Doing all kinds of silly things
With her dog and tiny wings
Future wide and open
For them you are hoping

Joy and fortune
Without worry or torture
Today’s little girls
Tomorrow’s gems and pearls

Let them play
Let them stay
Little girls
A while longer

Red, redder, reddest
That is the colour of the forest
So just stick your nose out of the door
And see what nature has in store

Colourful little dots
As painted on the spot
Growing, on this parking lot

This week’s quote, as taught to us by Lenny from the Simpsons:

“Everybody makes mistakes. That’s why they put erasers on pencils.

Colours of leaves
Red like wine
Sunday spent
Basking
In October’s sunshine

Did not have to go very far
Just step out from my car:
Autumn foliage
In higher dosage
