Man Cannot Be Woman, Woman Cannot Be Man - I
I.
Lacy had become a lawyer,
she brought home six figures a year,
and she wanted to have it all,
so a tiny baby appeared.
Her husband said he would stay home,
watch the kid, do domestic stuff,
Lacy was a ‘progressive’ type,
so this solution she did love.
But as the months went flying by
many problems soon did arise,
seeing her husband vacuuming
was not welcoming to her eye.
Less and less did she want to sleep
with her husband in the marriage bed,
somehow he didn’t look the same,
she started watching other men.
It just got worse as they argued,
she got annoyed when he did speak,
Lacey was making the money,
her husband looked worthless and weak.
She started working longer nights,
at least that is what she told him,
in truth Lacy was getting railed
by a partner who’s name was Jim.
Jim made three times what Lacy did,
would just take her right there on his desk,
he never would wear an apron,
and Lacy just reveled in this.
The divorce was a brutal one,
but her husband did understand,
a man could not be a woman,
a woman could not be a man.
