Im glad to be a woman,
thank god im not a man,
Im fine with my broom and a duster,
fine with a pot and a pan.
I can sizzle with clothes and makeup
I can burn with a come hither glance,
I can convey volumes with just one look
my feminity can send you into a trance.
..
I can nurture the kids you sire,
nature has given me that role,
and remember if you ever cheat on me,
you'll wish you could crawl into a hole
I look after your entire kith and kin,
I have your mother, with which to compete,
remember all those dates and occasions,
juggling endless jobs, is no mean feat.
when my family, is threatened, I am a tiger,
its me, that you have to face,
your every lie and misdemeanour, I can sense in a jiffy
I can read, every muscle of your face.
and still, when it comes to loving,
Youll never find a more loyal wife,
you honour your comittment to the union,
and there will never be cause, for strife.
I don't need to resort to liquor,
to drown a sorrow or two,
God has given me enough strength,
enough courage, and calm
makes you wonder which sex is stronger of the two?
I have enough tears for the two of us,
which I'm not afraid to show,
and even when my children, and you need comfort
remember its to me, that they go
.
Im glad to be a woman
thank God Im not a man,
but this is all in jest, ,
let your mind, be at rest,
don't scoff like a typical man.
In spite of all the facts, the statements above,
one is not complete without the other,
we can safely assume, after making a father,
God sat down to make, a mother.
