Maggie
\n1\/2 marathon poem #1<\/p>\n
The Iron woman with an iron fist
\nCast her long shadow over Britain’s poor
\nMaggie the destroyer of miner’s hopes
\nCast her long shadow over pit and moor<\/p>\n
The blue dragon with an icy soul
\nSpits her bitter breathe over Tyne and Trent
\nMaggie the heartless thief of children’s milk
\nWinter’s bitter taste of our discontent<\/p>\n
The Iron woman with an heart of stone
\nFated by the warm bile upon her throne
\nMaggie killed by her own poll tax spell
\nTaken to the sword by all of her own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
