For Your Diary . . .

AN UNWILLING RESPONSE We are grateful to Bernard Gogarty,. Solicitor, Drogheda, for sending us the following poetic response from a lady client, described in her will as a "spinster". Dear Bernard, I acknowledge receipt of my will, sir. And admire your professional skill, sir. It's terms I've perused But the words that you've used Have incited a passion to kill, sir. My attorney I've chosen as victim You'll quite understand why I picked 'im I'd prefer if you tried to restrict 'em. For a "spinster" is a word I reject, sir. It indicates lack of respect, sir. I get no enjoyment To see my employment Described in a style incorrect, sir. If I was a male (which I'm not), sir. And the unmarried state was my lot, sir. A "bachelor", I'd say, Is not quite the way You'd define the employment I'd got, sir. The terms you apply To a maid such as I The chauvinist male I detest, sir. Let this be my final request, sir. That you should observe The respect we deserve My defence for the moment I'll rest, sir. Yours sincerely,
