In Raising With Boys

When my wife gave birth to three boys
I was sure that she would not have to wait
For help with the housework for them.

But what a surprise to her it was not  
They help her, but also take care
Of her and feel sorry for her.

She's trying to show them that women is weaker sex, 
That is, that she's not able to take her washed clothes 
To the dryer or open the tightly closed lid.

When they grow up, they will have other tasks 
Showing my boys that the female sex 
Needs strong male hands.

A woman can take everything on her shoulder
But, nature intended a woman to procreate
And create strong men and feminine women.

Therefore, to dear women who raise boys
Try to be weaker sex, even if you can do everything
Just keep quiet and pretend.
