If I Was a Man

If I was a man I will cook in the morning I will cook in the evening A stew which is rotten to the core. If I was a man In the middle of a house, Surrounded by cobwebs And droppings of the mouse I will call for the killers And put strong poison fillers. If a was a man in a midsummer night dream I shall be the queen fairy Titania I’ll bewitch all the hate that surrounds me From London to California. If I was a man with a mouth I will shut it and stay quiet; I would behave for argument's sake Before comes another riot.

Your palm is one-sided but to each his own or her own. I don’t cook but I do clean and I eat very well thanks to my wife.

While this is genderly a bit one sided. It stands it's ground and should not be chided.
