Phenomenal Women's Day Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

By Freeyad Ibrahim

A twenty-year-old woman is like a soccer ball,
with twenty-two men running behind it.

At the age of thirty, she resembles a basketball,
with ten men running behind it.

At the age of forty, she is like a baseball,
one man running after it.

At the age of fifty, she is like a tennis ball,
tossed by every man to another.

And at the age of sixty, she is like a golf ball,
everyone wants to put it into the hole!
