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.
