Some Advantages of Being Female

 

By Elton Camp

 

Women have more choices in life

An exemption from so much strife

To be a homemaker is thought fine

But a househusband’s a ball of slime

 

She stays home when the kids are sick

A man is a bum if he tries that trick

If a woman’s upset it’s okay to cry

For a man to show emotion won’t fly

 

Whenever a woman is as ugly as hell

She fixes up so that nobody can tell

When a man doesn’t look very good,

There’s nothing to do even if he would

 

A woman can work for very little dough

A man would be a poor provider if so

A woman needn’t chase a burglar away

“You see about that noise,” she will say

 

It’s only a man who has to wash the car

And he has to remove the lid from a jar

He has to get stuff off of the top shelf

Even if his wife is far from being an elf

 

A man is expected to hold the heavy door

And then allow a woman to go in before

When a couple go to a restaurant on a date

The man pays for both his and her plate

 

Whenever the tire on the sedan goes flat

He is the only one who sees about that

When the garbage is to take to the street

A woman never performs that little feat

 

Women have it over men in every way

And then will outlive them many a day

Advantages of being male I plan to tell

So check back and read that one as well
