When bandages and plasters,

the tourniquet and the dressing

are used by both genders to stop

everything from a nicked finger

paper cut to full blown emergency

amputation, the blood that comes out,

that seeps, dribbles and flows,

perhaps gushes is funnily enough

the same in both men and women

and the intersexed,

so why are tampons considered

a luxury…

 

An item that belongs to one,

too many, should not find itself

adding to the coffers at Westminster,

unless of course they are used by the C word
