Some Advantages of Being Female
Some Advantages of Being Female
By Elton Camp
Women have more choices in life
An exemption from so much strife
To be a homemaker is thought fine
But a househusband’s a ball of slime
She stays home when the kids are sick
A man is a bum if he tries that trick
If a woman’s upset it’s okay to cry
For a man to show emotion won’t fly
Whenever a woman is as ugly as hell
She fixes up so that nobody can tell
When a man doesn’t look very good,
There’s nothing to do even if he would
A woman can work for very little dough
A man would be a poor provider if so
A woman needn’t chase a burglar away
“You see about that noise,” she will say
It’s only a man who has to wash the car
And he has to remove the lid from a jar
He has to get stuff off of the top shelf
Even if his wife is far from being an elf
A man is expected to hold the heavy door
And then allow a woman to go in before
When a couple go to a restaurant on a date
The man pays for both his and her plate
Whenever the tire on the sedan goes flat
He is the only one who sees about that
When the garbage is to take to the street
A woman never performs that little feat
Women have it over men in every way
And then will outlive them many a day
Advantages of being male I plan to tell
So check back and read that one as well
