Boys and Girls
Boys and Girls
I wonder
Why boys
Are ever
Lonesome.
For they
Have, doting
Mothers, fighting
Sisters, favourite
Uncles, and
Affectionate aunts,
And of course,
Proud papas
To pour
Numerous
Giant coloured
Petals of
Affection.
For afterall
He's a boy
And that
Is just enough.
Never mind
The nasty
Tempers,
The sour
moods, the
Tantrums,
The straw
Stuff in his
Mind that
Prevents him
From thinking.
And what
About girls?
Why is it
That always
The opposite
Applies here ?
A girl can
Never have
Her own way
Or even
Her say.
I wonder
If any
Girl has
Never felt
A state of
Homelessness.
For though
It is she,
Who makes
A house
A home,
Where indeed
Is her home ?
