Notes About The Poem

The Hokey Pokey is not what it's all about

The Battle of the Sexes

The Battle of the Sexes
By Franklin Price
1/28/2017

The battle of the sexes
Not about the sword and sheath
Who will be above
Or who will be beneath

Who will be the leader
Who's the underling?
Neither one is who I say
Equality's the thing

Sharing in the doing
No matter what the task
“Why can't we just get along?”
Is the question you should ask

Day to day a balancing
Of how to get along
One secret's not to clam up
If the other says, “what's wrong?”

A relationship is honesty
And mutual respect
If not, I'm here to tell you
What it is you can expect

An increasing lack of interest
That soon will make you exes
End the war between you
And the battle of the sexes
