Lib's a Fib
I'd like to write a line or two
About Woman Lib
In this age of women's rights
I feel that lib's a fib
"Equal Rights for Women!"
I agree with that, for sure
But twentieth-century women want
Equal rights and more
More jobs and equal rights
More pay and self-esteem
"More jobs!" they keep on screaming
As they fill the washing machine
Bath the screaming baby and vacuum all the floors
Clean the windows, dust the furniture
Add a million other chores
Why do they carry on so?
Why can't they realise
The most important job of all
Is right before their eyes
These forward-looking women
Who seem to want it all
Are backward in their thinking
And not equal at all
Years ago the women
Were much wiser, so it seems
They did one job and did it well
Not equal-but supreme!
