Will They Ever Grow Up?

“Why are men such boys”, she thinks,
“They want to play. I work. It stinks.”
“Never kudos do I get for all the things I do.”
“I’d like to see them spend a day, in my worn out shoes.”

“They frolic when the times not right,”
“Keeping us up late at night,”
“Then they, ghast!, turn out the light,”
“And snore real loud with all their might!”

“It’s enough to make a woman scream,”
“How they live life in a dream.”
“If only they’d show some respect,”
“Instead of giving us neglect.”

“They want their silly macho toys”
“To show off! Ones that make loud noise!”
“You’d think they’d want us to enjoy,”
“Together, something, remembered always.”

“Sigh… Life can be a drag,”
“When I have to scold and nag.”
“Is a little time too much to ask?”
“It’s not like it’s a dirty task.”
