Being Female

When I was a little girl, being "she", it was no fun. Then Women's Lib came along and my life had begun. Although it was a struggle, and I was a lot denied, told that I was just a "girl", but still I tried and tried. When I applied to college, was refused because female. Now that women are equal, it is a diff'rent tale. "Little woman" of the house was barefoot and pregnant. "That's not me, I will not be!" That was my fav'rite rant. I avoided wedded "bliss" and my life was never staid. If it was those bygone days, I would be called "Old Maid".
