Corporate Girl

 

Corporate girl

 

Fatima the ballerina

Hardly anybody’s seen her

Pointe shoes traded for stilettoes

All the theatres being ghettos 

There’s a mural on the wall

The Barbican Royal Albert Hall

Holding bays for Amazon now

Since they gave a final bow

 

Fatima fell through the ice

Took some government advice

To rethink and then reboot

Spent a few months picking fruit

Wound up in security

Cos as anyone can see

Pirouetting doesn’t pay

Now the theatre’s gone away
