A Man's World?

They say this is a man's world
but women have the upper hand,
we solve the mysteries of the universe
but it's women we can't understand.

A female walks by in a mini skirt
and immediately we are lost,
and when it comes to buying clothes
it's the man who counts the cost.

If a man takes his clothes off in public
it's certain an arrest will ensue,
but if a young lady does the same thing
she will instantly start a queue.

If a man should catch a bad cold
an ambulance is on it's way,
but if a woman catches the flu
she carries on with her normal day.

The day that men become pregnant
is the day we will understand,
that man can only rule this world
if women are in command.
