DROLL DAY
DROLL DAY Are there jobs that only women do?
Some men on errand boast of what they can do
Do not laugh at what I have to say How would you describe a normal day?So let us divide the chores in the household
To see what portion you may claim to hold Who does the cleaning and sweeping? Who does the cooking and washing?Lest, on menial things, the master’s time is wasted
For such, the children’s usefulness is tested
Is it the woman who runs the house? While the man claims to own the house Is it the man who deceives the woman?Or the woman, in pretension, fools the man
Who buys the food and pay the bills? Household chores, like roadmap on the hills Tasked the woman to work and walkWhile the man hangs around in past time talk
Pretending to read or with friends, playing games
Lazy old fool, I do not want to call you names.
