Women Should Be Paid Less Than Men
Women Should Be Paid Less Than Men
By Elton Camp
Women earn less than men but who should care
It seems to me that the difference is so very fair
Women may well demand to have maternity leave
But you never hear of such from Bob or Steve
If a child is sick, it’s away from work she’ll stay
But you never hear of any man doing it that way
Anytime a woman goes in to “powder her nose,”
Fifteen minutes lost work time you must suppose
But whenever a man makes a visit to the “John,”
Back to his own desk in five minutes he will run
Five days a month, a woman is such a bad grump
But a man never goes into such an irksome slump
In order for a woman to be paid as much as a man,
She must prove she is able to do as much as he can
But we all know that will never, ever come to be
So just why should a “she” be paid as much as “he?”
