Who'D Be A Woman? Poem by karen sinclair

Who'D Be A Woman?

Rating: 5.0


Who'd be a woman?
With hours of hair to dry
Chubby and insecure
Certainly i bellow
..........Not I! ...

Who'd fancy launching babies
As full as sumptuous ripe fruit
And listen to possible maybes
From hubbies in steel-capped boots

Who'd want to put on war paint?
Just cause the magazines push
Your ugly they say
Without hairspray
And a splash of red on your mush

Who'd want to be a women?
Certainly not I! ....
Im lumbered as the fairer sex
Minus a glint in my eye


I think i should be a man
Seems, more my cup of tea
A brush and a flick
A mirror check quick
And exit as fast as they can.....grrrr

Know where you are coming from Karen, but the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world so I think I'll stay strictly female. Good one.

The role you women play in this life is about the most important role there ever could be.Stay put. It was a thought provoker, though

This poem is so simple, yet so incredibly witty. I'd be a woman, a raw one. ;)

I squealed with laughter and delight at this poem, it's so funny. This style reminds me, very much of Pam Ayres...in fact I can imagine her performing it. Brilliant!
