Fag-it girls.
Fag-it girls, pushing their babies
With their bums out and their tits out
Their attitudes out… on display
Furry bomber jackets
With their midriffs showing… in winter.
Fag-it girls saying fuck,
Like it means something,
When really it means nothing at all
Just a space filler
Shouting that they’ve got fuck all to say.
Fag-it girls, pony tails bobbing
High on their heads, tight and severe
Their phallus
Like a penis,
A symbol, that they’re rock solid
Fag-it girls
Ignoring the screams
Of their soiled dirty children
In their soiled dirty pushchairs
Can’t buy nappies but money for smokes.
Fag-it girls with pierced noses.
and un-breakfasted babies
A squashed sausage roll in a blue cold hand
But they put on their make-up to hit the streets
To bob and posture and preen
Fag-it girls with fifty pence meters
And third floor flats at seventeen
With one kid and an early one cooking,
She’s not showing yet
And he’s long gone
Fag-it girls teaching fuck all to their children
Like it means something.

Too much in a rush to grow up, if only they knew ... thank you for reading and commenting.

Very sharp observation, and all too real. Fag-it girls on Jezza Kyle!

I really love this poem. I like the phrase as well. We don't have it here in the States. But very well written. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow four comments since I last looked, thank you all very much.

This is such fine work. I see a connection between your first poem on here and my last story that you so kindly helped me with.
From the first lines to the last....you wrote this with an amazing flavor of feeling and clear images of the subject.
You are a writer I am going to love reading.

Brilliant poem, im constantly amazed at the use of Fucking at the start of a sentence. Nicely concluded in the final line. I will get around to reading your more extensive work, but im being lazy and picking out your stuff which isnt followed by Chapter.

Excellent, really like the image of the pony-tail as a female phallus!
