With the final result being to evoke
Going against grain;
And being a big pain;
If opposed a person this will provoke.

Tiny chances of slender hopes, that broke.
On your lies i can only pray, you choke.
Not ever was a single word, misspoke.

To combat the negatives, it's your prerogative
Tell silly jokes

Just shut up woman and make me a sandwich,
do my laundry and mop my floor.

was to provoke angry comments from feminists....
