The Little Sisters of Divine Disapproval

The Little Sisters of Divine Disapproval A holy order with a long long history Known to women but to men: still a mystery For ascendance of our gender we are crucial The little sisters of Divine Disapproval When your men are being tiresome, acting stupid Disregard kind impulse and the darts of Cupid Make a call - for fast stupidity reproval To the Sisters of Divine Disapproval If your husband’s being stubborn a real pain There’s no need for you to argue and complain You will find us if you go on line and google ‘Little Sisters of Divine Disapproval’ With lips tight pursed and frowning eye brows darkly set We will shovel on the guilt and shame, you bet Til they realise their protests are all futile For we’re the Little Sisters of Divine Disapproval Call on us whenever men are acting badly They’ll capitulate, surrender to you gladly If you follow all our guidelines with no scruple The Little sisters of Divine Disapproval There’s no need for words aggressive or of violence Don’t forget cold shoulder and the stony silence Just hold on and he’ll confess, make no refutal To the Sisters of Divine Disapproval When he comes back with the boys from a bender He’ll be wise to not make jokes but surrender Should be cautious looking sheepish, a bit rueful In the face of your Divine Disapproval If he fails just one more time to clean that plug hole There’s no need to shout harsh words in his lug hole He’ll make sure of every blockage’s removal For the Sisters of Divine Disapproval Behind each great man a woman goes along To keep him abreast of all he’s doing wrong We are proud of guidance given them for perusal By the Sisters of Divine Disapproval Let us all unite in fearless sisterhood For we know we do it for our men’s own good Without us life would be hell painted by Bruegel So God bless the Little Sisters of Divine Disapproval

You're a braver man than I, Geoff--let's hope nobody calls the PC police! After 40 years of marriage, all I can say is, Amen...[by the way, there is a small typo in 7th stanza, 'H'll' instead of 'He'll']
