Equal Rights For Men

As Women now have more power and rightly now have a voice In the western world there are many more opportunities Than there used to be and so much choice. While men are today unashamedly in touch with their feminine side And are now at last allowed to cry Men wearing pink was just not done when I was a nipper But now anything goes Some men wear women's clothes make up and fluffy slippers. Is something in the water or something in the air But some women are getting more masculine While men are showing touches of femininity everywhere. Men may talk about swapping knitting patterns or tips on child care. The girls around here have tattoos are rough and show off their bits They have earings through their tongues and noses get drunk and aggressive Always fighting In pubs and the street when pints of beer touch their lips. We now have lady vicars in lace knickers Female body builders and bricklayers Men have took a giant step backwards While women race to the top And I hope they'll never stop. House husbands are more common these days They can change a diaper with just one hand And talk on the cell phone for hours while doing the housework Or taking the baby to te park in it's pram I think women taking over the world And using men as slaves is the masterplan And men live in fear because they know they can. Of course now men have big problems Like deciding what dress to wear Does my bottom look big in this And ooh I hate my hair. It's so difficult to tell the difference sometimes When on a date If you're heterosexual You may find out a bit too late. Now it;s women who wear the trousers And men who wear the skirt and bra No one seems to care no more Just who you are. Women had been repressed by men for too long Now they play the tune And bang the drum and sing the song. Well if you can't beat then join them Before it's much too late My operation is next Thursday I hope keep the date Please don't look down at men I know we are sometimes a pain But you have to realise Men are going through the change.

Peter, You've penned some truths that just won't end. Yet, there are rebels with a cause.

Hi Anne Lise,''Women don't need men''. I was going to add that to the poem and I see your point. the truth is, men need women, and behind every great man it has been said, there's a strong woman. thank you best wishes. Pete.
