The Decline Of Man (And The Rise Of Women)
Throughout the ages until the recent day
Strength and size ruled the world
But those times have long passed away
The days when women truly needed men
Were all the norm back then
Now gone Ne’er to be back again
Machines that farm and till our land
Can make our goods much faster than
The hand of any common working man
It’s the age of women (perhaps long overdue)
It’s machines and technology and many
Men have no clue
So now it’s become a world of finesse
Where strength and size
Could matter less
There’s a sea-change come upon the land
Where there’s no need
For strong back or hand
That women are as able and probably more so
To push the buttons program the computers
That make our modern world go
For every two men who have a degree
The number of women that do
Add up to three
For every four men who are the boss
There’s now five women in charge
“What’cha think of that “hoss? ”
Women now, in many cases, raise our kids alone
And these erstwhile, dependent ladies (now quite independent)
Are oft’ the only parent in the home
So the times they are a’changin’ guys
And personally, I think it’s quite a feat
That women are becoming the strong and wise
And we’re becoming obsolete!
