This poem caused a lot of furor in 99; let's try it again.

I do not wish to dominate-
Nor will I bow my knee
And let some lass in heels and such
Crack her whip at me.
I have no vain illusions-
That girls are second class-
But when it comes to serving them
I guess I'll have to pass.
God did not take from Adam's foot
A bone to make a bride-
Nor did He take one from His head
To rule with pomp and pride.
The role of woman, friend, is plain
Right from the very start-
God took a rib, to show that she
Was dear to Adam's heart.
Not from the back to follow him-
Nor out of view to hide-
But an equal and a trusted mate,
To walk close by his side.
I know my place, and duties-
And keep them this is true-
I must inquire, dear ladies-
Are you really sure you do?
