It's a Mans World Or Is It

It has been said, "It's a mans world"
I guess that's right to some degree
But even for us it's not easy
Read on and I think that you'll see

Feeling trapped in a females body
When I was young, gave me a fright
Until later when I was born
And I realized I had been right!

I was scared that "Sis" looked surprised
When she drew on too high, each brow
Then by mistake, I ate cat food
Hard to do, but don't ask meow!

My teenage years proved no better
Getting high left me pale and gaunt
I became addicted to brake fluid 
But could stop any time I want!

For me life hasn't been easy
I think you're beginning to see
Now that I'm married it's fifty, fifty
That's quite an improvement for me!
