Soman Lee

Bear it all and hold it in Show us how a man can grin Fish for something you can say To make this go away Badger me with joking lies Let people think it’s no surprise Ferret out with eagle eyes The ones who see Through your disguise To find a soul who cries Seal their faith with one slow wink Then pour another drink (Worknotes) This is another jab at women's liberation The female of all the species mentioned rules The male lives within them
