WORKIN’ WOMEN II

 WORKIN’ WOMEN II
 
By Donna Penley

 
 
Now, this is the second version of my poem, Workin’ Woman.

It goes beyond what I said in the first poem – takes a look at the

Grittier part of raisin’ younguns.

 
 
We work beside our man, raise kids, cook an’ clean –

Tryin’ to further th’ “family dream”.

But, here’s where we give it all that we’re worth –
It’s th’ dubious pleasure of good ol’ “child birth”!
Heels high in stirrups, huffin’ & puffiin’, trying t’ have that kid
While he’s in th’ waitin’’ room, with his buds,  braggin’ on
 what HE DID!
Then after it’s all over, he brings ya chocolates an’ roses;
Which covers about everything, his Majesty supposes.
Then, if you eat those chocolats, it’s you who’s gonna pay –
‘Caue it gives th’ kid th’ drizzlin’ runs for th’ best part of 2  days!
(This is assuming you are breast feeding that kid)
When you get home, you are expected  t’ do your usual bit;
Then if you’re too tired to pleasure him, he’ll throw a bitchin’  fit!
So, ladies, just remember that  we’re th’ “weaker sex;
But th’ world couldn’t work without us – it’d be in one big fix!
But, there’s somethin’ t’ remember,  an’ t’ hold above th’ rest –
Things finally get better when those younguns leave th’ nest!!!

Women are never the weaker sex. We should stand for equality and fairness. Everyone should be given a chance to work as much as males do. Even if I am a man, I believe that all women deserve an equal treatment in life. Women will always be as strong, if not stronger, than man.

These lines contain a deep meaning. We can feel how close they are to our real life. The poem conveys a special attitude of the mother to her children.
