LIFE’S STRESSES
Day and night the Tower of London is guarded
By a guy in a special suit, known as a beefeater.
Should an equal-opportunity female suit be for a beefeatress?
And a woman skilled at making clothing is a seamstress -
Should an equal-oppo man similarly skilled be a seamster??
After all we have a Union of Teamsters,
So are female membership cards for teamstresses?
Should I start to use the formal form of address
By calling my colleague at school a teacheress?
Should I not use the old joke about a mistress
Being something between a mister and a mattress?
