Who Wears the Trousers

When out with friends			  she laughs with her friends
He is loud, impossible to ignore	                 tells them how to bark the dog down
He jeers at females, lowlifes!		                 Till he cooks, cleans and irons
He calls them useless	                                 at her every beck and call
He pushes the bar girls around		  she makes him do all that
And his peers admire him 			  her peers ask her how	
He is the ultimate alpha		                   she learnt how to roar like a lion
