Engendered Resolution!

entry picture

 

The fairer, the sweeter the smarter by far

intuitive, cute and astute

That women are nicer, more able than men

is impossible now to refute

they're built with compassion and reason and hope

with loyalty, faith and resolve

their clear understanding and caring instinct

as protection and nurture involve

Oh yes they're most clearly on a higher plane

a superior force without doubt

reassuringly calm in the face of a storm

with plenty of wits kept about

but despite all these assets and facets and things

I do not envy them in one way

for what they endure for a week every month

is price that is too high to pay

Yes I'm afraid I'm contented to lack

what the premier gender assumes

that we men so covert.. but I'll tell you this

I'd not swap a ball for 10 wombs!

Thank you Val, I had to Google them, most kind!

Cheers JC, I didn't Google 'dactyls', despite having no idea, as you kindly explained - I seem to be stuck in that rut atm, drives me insane at times, I'll call it the 'terror dactyls'.

Your comments are enjoyed and appreciated.

You've got these here dactyls just off to a tee
(In music three beats to the bar)
But just on the matter of feminine things
I'd swop my string vest for a bra.

I once got into a discussion with a kid about music in 5/4 time. I said it was very difficult. He said it wasn't. I said "Go on then, sing something in 5/4". He sang "Life is just a bowl of fucking cherries".
