Prompt: Write a poem about a famous woman or an influential woman you know personally<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
{Influence.her}<\/p>\n
Well I had something else in mind<\/p>\n
but as soon as I saw the prompt I thought of you<\/p>\n
so uplifting, real and courageous<\/p>\n
so knowledgeable and intelligent<\/p>\n
it was you that I wanted and no-one else would do<\/p>\n
I could listen to you endlessly<\/p>\n
your entertaining banter<\/p>\n
your humour and quick wit<\/p>\n
and all the while the trials you have overcome<\/p>\n
where others have attempted to curtail you<\/p>\n
but there would be no holding you down<\/p>\n
you stand for women’s rights<\/p>\n
you stand for everything that is right in this world<\/p>\n
with such a prolific output, creative, talented and wise<\/p>\n
a writer, comedian, broadcaster, actor, producer, political activist<\/p>\n
a mother, a wife, a friend, a colleague<\/p>\n
all contained in one neat inspirational package<\/p>\n
you are a legend Sandi Toksvig!<\/p>\n
Thank the stars above for people like you!<\/p>\n
