The Other Morning
I Stepped Into Her House
And Found
Near And Dear Ones Fretting
And Sensed
Friends And Foes Abetting
And Discerned
Moms And Dads Regretting
The Other Afternoon
I Walked Into Her Workplace
And Saw
Envious Dames Detesting
And Watched
Sexist Males Persisting
And Caught
Men In Power Insisting
The Other Evening
I Stumbled Upon Her Path
And Viewed
A Hundred Eyes Scanning
And Heard
An Army Of Voices Hissing
And Felt
A Dozen Claws Groping
And I Was Glad To Be A Man...
