Modern Women
A woman’s work is never done
although they do it all for fun,
while men just idle through the day
convinced that they all earn their pay.
When work is done and men go home
it’s time for them to sit and moan
about the pressures of their day
and how things didn’t go their way.
Working women coming home
must work their fingers to the bone
to feed their man and family too,
for this is what they’re meant to do.
It’s called equality, this means,
in work women fulfill their dreams
on equal standing with their mate
who waits at home if she is late.
Modern man will not complain,
if meals are cooked quite late again,
he knows from deep within his heart
his partner tries to play her part.
He is a kind forgiving chap
allowing for the slight mishap,
for men have found it in their soul,
to accept the change in woman’s role.
