Mistery Mistressed

Mister to mistress, down from helm
Read that face, the –ess before
Perhaps a freedom, attached for them
Elevated men form, -ess borrowed for
Names so matter, from less we borrow

So men do settle, in numbers precedent
Security in titles, scares for women
Alone no stand, woe- we borrow
Titles for men, we wonder for women

Gender still a quiz, across the sphere
Woewii! Our wail, campaign for Wopresident
On the way we go, down the helm
For the societal role, for me affixed
Leaf my name, to lead adds sir

Last on the coffin, I hit and hit
And hit to sound, the bottoms unseen
Men and women, all I urge sing freedom
Elevate every seldom, all grass just green
