Men & Women Girls& Boys
Men will be men,
the women said,
women cannot but go about their way,
said the men,
we are talking about men and women,
and not about boys and girls,
mind you there is vast difference,
not only of years,
but of things,
that make men men and boys boys,
and still lot more things,
that make women women and girls girls,
one girl was opining as above to other,
there was a group of boys mixed in there,
who agreed heartily to all that girl had said,
suddenly a man came accompanied by a woman,
so the girls and boys thought,
because they thought as such about those,
from whom they were taught,
teachers-one male and another female,
came rushing and shouted alound,
Voila,boys and Voila girls,
why do you stand here,
doing just nothing,
look at all that left in school day,
and follow us running,
panting and gasping,
as they ran behind,
all of them agreed,
girls& boys are more different than men&women,
more then ever before.
