It’s Jane’s Lane

On a train
Heard man splain
Female brain
Such a strain
Long refrain
Total pain
Real cross grain
Just a stain

Up stood Jane
Made it plain
Straight explain
To contain
His campaign
In wrong vein
Not his lane
Just insane

Danny, how often have we overheard or listened to a crock of something putrid? There's a kind way to respond to it, but it's hard to change people's minds. Not so easy at all. Smiles!!

Most times probably best to ignore it (I have to tell myself that a LOT...I'm not really the ignoring type)...but sometimes it is nice to see "the little guy" push back...not that women are "little guys" but they often get treated that way.

short lines that rhymed but still conveyed a powerful message. Well done, Danny.
