Tears of Men and Women

Tears some men easily wipe By smoking a waiting pipe, The same tears most women shed Precariously perching on a bed. Big tears male criers crave While on female cheeks they’d rave: Some tears a man strenuously forces, On the eyelids of a woman racing horses: A wounded pride’s would eternally last, The physically injured’s drying up fast; The messages in men’s tears are short The ones in women’s a well-aimed shot!
