Woman

Who was it made the world complete,

And put Marse’ Adam on his feet?

                  Woman.

Who was it tempted man to fall

Then held him at her beck and call?

                  Woman.

Who was it brought you on the sphere,

And cuddled you and called you dear;

Who’s made you what you are, m’sier?

                  Woman.

Who comforts you whene’er you fail?

Who likes to hear your fairy tale?

                  Woman.

Who clings to you when danger threats,

Who nearly breaks you when she bets?

                  Woman.

Who drives you nightly to the club,

Or keeps you home, a “dear old hub”,

Who wears the ___ cloths? Aye, there’s the rub;

                  Woman.
