Sometimes we're dealt a bad hand and there's nothing we can do about it
We just have to smile and grin and take it
I tried to trick the dealer once,
A hidden ace up my sleeve
But I ended up being the joker
And I weep and feel sorry for myself
Why me? When I'm the one who's to blame
I don't want to make fun or name names
But it was always you I would blame
No shame
Just an excuse to ease my rotten conscience
Sometimes your hand is ok and you make the best out of it, or the worst
Or pocket aces slide into your possession and you win it all, but it all can just be snatched away in the next round
Are you ready to play?
Because I'm already dealing

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
