Here's To That Invincible Bunch

In the U S March is Women's History Month, and tomorrow, March 8, is International Women's Day. So, ladies everywhere, this piece is for you. Salud! You are woman, so defined, You are perfectly designed, Every aspect of your being makes you who you are. You meet the challenges you face With intelligence and grace, Because of you the human race has come so far. You have measure, you have worth, And your purpose here on Earth Is to show the world war's not the only way. You may question, you may doubt, But you bring good things about, And do it all without a rancorous display. Man is creation at its worst, Why you were not invented first Is a mystery, unsolvable, it's true. Though chauvinists may sneer and scoff, We might be so much better off If the running of the world were up to you. We'll never understand God's plan, So from one less-than-perfect man, To all you women, Thanks for all the things you do.

well said, jim! it's sad that we even have to have a women's history month, but at least there is now some awareness of the contributions women have made to the world. i agree with you that "we'd be so much better off if the running of the world were up to" us!
