FEEDBACK.

 

My father worked in Human Resources

In days when it was “Personnel”

He took a lot of training courses

No doubt he did his work quite well.

My education cost him dearly

He stumped up for my college fees

And he applauded me, sincerely

Graduating, BSc.

One day he said, in fit of bile

Imagine! – I felt quite surprised

“Employing women’s not worthwhile

They only cry when criticised.”

I, at twenty-seven, wiser,

Acidly, at once replied

“That says more of the criticiser

Than the woman criticised.”
