Now and then, there's one with slight defects.
One perhaps whose __truthfulness__ you doubt a bit,
But by and large we are a __marvellous__sex!

Why can't a woman take after a man?

Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps;
Ready to help you through any mishaps;
Ready to buck you up whenever you're glum.
Why can't a woman be a chum?

Why is thinking something women never do?
And why is logic never even tried?
Straightening up their hair is all they ever do.
Why don't they straighten up the mess that's __(14)inside__?

Why can't a woman behave like a man?
If I was a woman who'd been to a ball,
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing,
Or carry on as if my home were in a __tree__?
Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
Why can't a woman be like me?
