Where Is a Womans Place

Gee, how we blame our culture for starting this!
Oh, how ignorant can we be!
We blame men as evil and macho?
Yet we drooled when younger over Ralph Macchio.

Ask any woman who gets up at
three!
How great it is to get out there and earn a salary?
Then not only commute but slave 
all day.

Pick up the kids at three, and then
the Kids overburdened with home
work?
Mom has to help them like a enslaved Turk!

Then prepare dinner for all three.
While wash in the washing machine be?
Women's Liberation~~
My, my oh me!

I have not listed endless shopping or sports 
on this list!
Gloria Steinheim's neck and women's lib 
needs a quick twist.

Women brainwashed to the core.
Now think its an honor to wear
pants, which I abhor.
We are far to flabby in buttocks and thighs. 
Walking, our legs look like an
earthquake jello surprise.

No more pretty hair, we must look
like men?
What's next?
Smoking cigars in tweed jackets in the den?

Sorry to rant, but I miss women
having time,looking fine...
To run a home, not looking for
a shoeshine.

I will write later of the history of 
a woman's place being in the home.
And it's close to the time of Ancient Rome.

I do realize, with inflation at all time high,
Food and gas, too?? At times there is no choice!

Being all those roles is far from easy. I admire women. They might love to stay home but things are too expensive. AND rising. Thank you, Pangie xx

Top of the morning to you Pangie. Hi. Well with a title such as this I just had to turn the page. Please allow me to let your words stand. There is nothing I could add. I will say however I did find the mention of Ralph Macchio humorous in a way. Thank you for sharing your writing talent with us. I hope all is well. Have a great morning and day. Blessings now and always. (smile)

Good day Lisa.Macchioo. ..lol. We all have different ways we see the world. I did not grow up in a violent world in the USA. Word were between oyhe countries, now we have a war here.we dislike each other because of reliance or politics? Silly! Kids have no Mom after school.my husband died at 40. I had to raise her, educate her and teach her values. I did do a great job. She’s outstanding in her community and a Star wife and mother. I worry for the futyre if our kids.whoare in looney schools.best wishes to you. Thank you..Pangie

"What's next? Smoking cigars in tweed jackets in the den?" I love this line Pangie, reminds me of Frida Khalo! There's no place like home. At home, cooking and painting and caring for the garden, crocheting, and pattern-making is where I'm happiest! Xhugsx~Anaya

My Mo worked from 10 am up 10pm and ran a business with my dad . We lived above it. So she could come upstairs and do houdked chores, dad drove me to private Catholic school mom took me to the dressmajders as all costumes were hand made. I loved spending time with her,. I was the dancer, but all my family loved music, dance and played instruments, you have a terrific Mom. Hugs, Pangie vv

Happy Mothers Day Mom's!
