Man, What a Woman
“Let’s do it. Let’s settle this mano a mano.”
“Well, you asked for it and you’ll get it,
What do you want to know, woman?”
“Man, O man, always the cocky ones, aren’t we?
I say, women are better than men.”
“Not even by a long shot. Men are better!”
“Oh, really!”
“Of course, you can’t even crack a walnut without men.
And God made man first,
Woman was an after-thought… there I said it!”
“Say, what! Says who?
“Says God, dummy!”
“Uhhh … what?’
“Yeah, you heard me.”
“No, no, no …
It’s nothing but myth and folktale,
without women, you men don’t stand a chance;
Without us, you have no identity
You don’t even come to exist
if we keep our doors shut…
you know what I mean, don’t ya!”
