Jam and Jerusalem, a clarion call,
Euphemism for those ladies down the village hall,
The fabulous stalwarts of the W.I,
Who’ll run a raffle or bake a pie.
Who redefine the words charitable, compassionate, noble,
Whose famous nude calendar went viral, went global.
Who’ve raised loads of dosh for numerous charities,
The W.I., would you applaud them please!?
Jam And Jerusalem

The WI is Women’s Institute, I believe? And yes, very British. Glad there still is something that feels so much so.
