Happy - In 101 Words

Thank you, God, for making me a female,
one so strong, cheerful and alive!
The weaker sex? I guess!  If being frail
can serve me, I will anything contrive!
A tire flat?  Out of gas?  I use
“femininity” when in a fix.
I do it oh so charmingly - this ruse-
used by clever chicks like politics!
Those that share my gender cast a spell,
and In our sex are pleasant aspects found.
In art of conversation we excel.
By friendship and by loyalty we are bound.
***** envy?  Me?  I like your plan,
I am happy not to be a man!

Celebrate the communality and embrace the differences. Nothing wrong with being happy as we are. Too much political correctness around, which makes feelings to vanish too often...

I enjoyed your humorous write, Andrea! I, myself, like being the weaker sex as it is so much nicer having a man do the "heavy" work so I don't have to. Congrats on your win! Love, Kim

Very upbeat, positive outlook on being female. I have another take on it, not that I'd want to be a guy but would love not having the hot flashes and mood swings that men have no idea how bad it can be. Plus, never had anyone help me with a flat, did it myself several times while men walked past me without a thought of helping.
