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?”
