Women Should Be Paid Less Than MenA Poem by Elton CampIt seems quite reasonable to me.Women Should Be Paid Less Than Men
By Elton Camp Women earn less than men but who should care It seems to me that the difference is so very fair Women may well demand to have maternity leave But you never hear of such from Bob or Steve If a child is sick, it’s away from work she’ll stay But you never hear of any man doing it that way Anytime a woman goes in to “powder her nose,” Fifteen minutes lost work time you must suppose But whenever a man makes a visit to the “John,” Back to his own desk in five minutes he will run Five days a month, a woman is such a bad grump But a man never goes into such an irksome slump In order for a woman to be paid as much as a man, She must prove she is able to do as much as he can But we all know that will never, ever come to be So just why should a “she” be paid as much as “he?”
