Modern Women

A woman’s work is never done,
although they do it all for fun,
while men just idle through the day
convinced that they, all earn their pay.

When work is done and men go home,
it’s time for them to sit and moan,
about the pressures of their day,
and how things didn’t go their way.

Working women coming home
must work their fingers to the bone.
To feed their man and family too,
for this is what they’re meant to do.

It’s called equality, this means,
in work women fulfill their dreams.
On equal standing with their mate
who waits at home if she is late.

Modern man will not complain,
if meals are cooked quite late again.
He knows from deep within his heart
his partner tries to play her part.

He is a kind forgiving chap
allowing for the slight mishap.
For men have found it in their soul,
to accept the change, in woman’s role.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Well, I once had a husband that forgave me for being late getting home from work while he sat there with a clicker in his hand, and his feet up on the coffee table.  He didn't mind waiting for his dinner.  I left him one hour later and never went back. That is the truth!  LOL

Oh boy, times have changed, boy have they changed.    

Cute write.

Oh, by the way, my son is President of a company, and his wife can't cook all that well, so after work quite often he goes home and cooks too.  I have learned so much from her.

Thank you all for responding, this was written a little 'tongue in cheek' I love women and would even let them change a light bulb!

Have Fun,

Ivor
