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
