HIS & HERS: a voyage through the Middle Age Crazies

11 - the Relationship------------------------------------------ HIS... FREE AT LAST if she's part of the movement she no longer wants to be a girl a chick or a broad not even a lady she's a feminist a liberated woman and I'm for this a free female means a free male free enough to openly express my childish insecurity if a person wants to whine and whimper nowadays a person can but every time I do my liberated woman says "Act like a man!"

12------------------------------------------------------------------ HERS... HOUSEWIFE Jealousy and hate That big bad wolf Gobbled up my eyes And a gruff Daddy voice In my head Continually said, "It's not nice for women To go out to work." So I stayed in the house No quiet, peaceful hilltop, I was the faucet, an endless drip I cried, whined, As I swept, mopped, ironed I saw only the clothes, the outer man. Got caught in the tie Served my hands on a platter Along with my head To the man "For the children's sake," I said. But I let the house eat me.
