This is me on ONE

Oh pessimist
O! Man of Woe
Who sees men and women come to blows,
Perhaps you need a long vacation
Or a labotomy type of operation.

For if a man and woman meet,
And with a loving kiss do greet,
Then all is right within our world
(Though it makes cynics toes get curled).

So please do spare me your depression
(Enough will come with the new recession).
And when your children ask 'why doubt?'
Tell the truth - and do not pout.

It is the tavern in the town,
And visits there which get her down.
When you return you are a sot -
That is why she aimed and shot!

Have One on Me

At this second hand store I did see,
A book titled 'Have One on Me', (by Georgie Starbuck Galbraith)
It's first chapter reads "His and Hers"
about an ancient battle written in verse.
Let me share a few bits from the treasure I've found...
I'll do it as soon as I stop rolling on the ground !!

~ Gunjan


His and Hers

It's a man's world? Perhaps it is,
But happily it occurs
That, though the planet is labeled HIS
He is labeled HERS.


Truth of the Martyr

She's given him, moans this martyred wife,
Some of the best years of her life.
And in addition, the plain truth is,
She's given him some of the worst of his.



Distaff Double

A man must ponder upon this pair
of problems a woman has to face:
She has absolutely nothing to wear,
And she hasn't an inch of closet space!
