NETTA SYRETT OF RAMSGATE - WOMAN OF WORDS

Netta Syrett did not stomp up down Britain
Go over to the U S A speech afireing
No she used her gift of writing books
To put over ideals - rights for woman
Including Romans right to
Understated he sexuality
Made her points of view known
That she had her sexuality that no men
Could stop her enjoying her sexuality
Her father & her mother made sure

THROUGH EDUCATEAN
Netta HER OWN WOMAN! - HER OWN PERSON!
Her father could not would not except his daughters sexualerty
Netta & her siblings were educated
Netta greatly apprsited that
BUT her father could not except her sexualerty
NO WAY were Ramsgates Netta going to abandon her sexualerty
Sadly Netta & Father were never going reconciled
Netta a personal Friend of Oscar Wilde
Netta had real fears she to could share Wildes fate
Sent to Holloway Womens Prison London

Netta Syrett's novel - Portrait Of A Rebel
Adapted in the film - Woman Rebels
Staring Katharine Hepburn released in 1936
A great film exposing woman treatment
The problems of using their minds obtain work
That women were more than capable of
And enjoying their sexualerty - price they paid
When becoming with child
Netta wrote of the life & conditions of woman
The frustrations of her gender coursed by men
Interlexical political financial educatan sexual et al
That woman were & are suffering then & now

Now I have been championing Netta Syrett
Beetling the drum in our home town of Ramsgate
Netta's Syrett's & mine
The great & the good of Ramsgate
Giving it large regarding yes great painter
Vincent van Gogh
Who staid & worked in Ramsgate for no pay
Board & lodgings only
He lived in Ramsgate for a few months twelve
No longer than that
Drew just one drawing of Ramsgate in his time hear
That drawing can be viewed in converted broom cupboard
In an art museum in Amsterdam

On receiving a letter offing Vincent, a proper job - paid
He packed his belongs & walked to Canterbury then on to London
The rest is history now
Now to his fame, there are those in Ramsgate, milking the few months
Vincent van Gogh VERY short stay in Ramsgate for all it's worth
There is good bust of van Gogh in Spencer Square the bust is rather good
I have to say no argument there from me

BUT BUT look for anything to remember Netta Syrett - don't bother
'Cos you will find - NOTHING NOTHING AT ALL!
Menshan Netta Syrett, to the locals all you will see is a blank stare!
'' Who's that? '' ; in response to what you've said
At least I know of you Netta Syrett - GNU - Ramsgates
GREAT WOMAN OF WORDS!

It's strange ken the way certain people do a lot
In their life yet are often not given the convenance
They deserve.theres a tiny plague on a house in Eastbourne
That reads Lewis Carroll lived here. I've lived in Eastbourne
All my life and only found out because it's now a dentist.
