Women

It’s tough being a woman
Attractive we are
We put on our face
And dye our hair

The men in our lives
Expect so much
Don’t get old
Or gain an inch

The trends we follow
The patterns we set
Forget the cost
Or how much we spent

With Botox and filler
The nips and the tucks
We keep them guessing
What age we look

We plump and we polish
We scrub and we tan
All this to stay young?
All this for a man?

Not a grey hair in sight
Not a wrinkle or crease
How dare we give into
An extra piece
Of that chocolate fudge cake
Or Haagan Das ice
We left in the fridge
Just only last night

The diets the fads
How bad they must be
Depriving ourselves
Of food we can’t eat

But so ‘tis the trends
We read in the mags
Did you ever see Munroe
Look like a hag?

Vogue and Cosmo
Elle and Red
Is there something I’ve missed?
One I haven’t read?

Judy, Liza
Barbra, Bette
These are names
I shan’t forget
