Margaret Thatcher

Ethics detached from intelligence
(a dangerous thing in woman) .
She abused her education
by sunbathing her ego
in every passing neon light.

Because of this, in later years
she succumbed to a hoarse belligerence
(a dangerous thing in woman) .
This led to premature decline
and loss of the key to her precious memories
which was all she had salvaged from her good years
before her sycophants turned against her
in favour of a council estate boy.
