'' She Who Must Be Obeyed '' Poem by Bri Mar

They let us think that we are superior,
Their motives are I’d say ulterior,
They can also make us feel inferior,
It’s time to be afraid.

They say we can’t do anything right,
Then have us believe we’re very bright,
Our ire sometimes they incite,
When we don’t make the grade.

Their respect we have to earn,
How I’m afraid you’ll never learn,
That is a major cause for concern,
They’re very hard to persuade.

They’ll lift you up when feeling down,
Their glare can also make you frown,
Never attempt to steal their crown,
They cannot be easily swayed.

Telling them lies they claim to hate,
Yet it’s okay if it’s about their weight,
It’s on thin ice we need to skate,
Humility must be displayed.

How to appease them is anyone’s guess,
The nicest comment can give them stress,
Does my bum look big, don’t ever say yes,
Or a heavy price will be paid.

The constant yapping will drive you mad,
When you fall out try not to be sad,
If it’s the silent treatment be bloody glad,
Then hope it lasts a decade.

They are always right and never wrong,
In a fantasy tale is where they belong,
Throughout the change you must remain strong,
The facts you must try to evade.

So if you’ve still got that silly notion,
That all women do is cause a commotion,
Without their total love and devotion,
Man’s dominance is but a charade.

I’m in serious trouble for writing this verse,
In self pity she will now immerse,
It's for my funeral I’ll have to rehearse,
I’m going out to buy a new spade.

Anything they say, give a positive reply,
With their rules you must always comply,
The golden rule is don’t ever defy,
