Behind most winning men it's worth saying again

there's force driving them, it is true.

With such strength and resolve ambitions evolve

and support to see goals carried through.

It's then they possess stubborn drive to success

in the guidance, direction and tips;

you really are missing if you think just for kissing

is the purpose of those tender lips.

No, Ladies we accept that we're often inept

and our rise is yours to acclaim,

so I'll say this one time though I realise I'm

destined now to a life without fame.

There are quite a few blokes, the butt of bad jokes

who are plodding and trudging in ruts,

they could have gone on but instead, like Dear John

lacked the balls or the nouse or the guts.

But there are many more for whom the daily score

was restrictive, confining, suppressed.

With their foresight made blind by continuous grind

and their drive and their vim so repressed.

Weighing them down with a finger and frown

antithesis of the women above,

smothered and covered and held for themselves

they are drowned as they're crowned with their love.

Too late to break free from the gene factory,

no strength left to try to scream 'stop',

yes marriage for sure is the bolt on the door

that keeps him from the room at the top!
