Poem
Proudly the white tummies purposefully sauntered forth Orange arrow beaks decidedly pointed Stubby feet not nearly strong enough to hold them up Yellow mirrored eyeballs, reflecting the sun In sheer giddiness, frightening the menfolk. I stopped the wagon train and gave them a stern talking to. Yes, I am the wagon master, thank you much. And this is the Wild Venus, not the Wild West. It is a new world, of course. Unfortunately when I stopped them, they fell over Onto each other’s laps, making the menfolk laugh and laugh Making me sorry we had given them their lobotomies before we reached destination It was the only way we knew to control their testosterone, Of course, it was my idea, one of my worst I later discovered. We resumed our journey after they all regained a semblance of composure Our pet menfolk and our pet yellow-bellies. I smiled, knowing I might have been right all along. Women would rule the Venus colony TVs would be banned, and no animals would be harmed In cages or hunted or trapped or any of that nonsense. Some other women came to my wagon that night We formed a sing along bonfire, and we laughed and talked well until morning. Knowing our menfolk would be more than willing to get up with the One point two children we had allowed ourselves and our Yellow penguin brigade. Congratulating ourselves on our new status Rulers of Venus, Committee of Sixteen, Power of the Woman In Charge Forever Until we realized sixteen women cannot agree on anything. Without at least one or two opinions from the yellow penguins. That is when it all changed. And they slyly took over, Feeding us the feminine-out-sauce that took away our will and our minds. Well done white tummies. Well done!
