FATHER AND SON
(I am trying to recapture the form that saw my magnum opus "Upskirting" removed from WOL. This seems to me to be equally offensive but was approved for posting once already in 2013. Perhaps WOL was a little more sympathetic to irony then).
As you approach twenty-one
Get out there and start to have fun
But before you start kissing
It’s time you should listen
To a father’s advice to his son.
When choosing a woman, of course,
Be wary of some of their flaws;
For best satisfaction
Conduct the transaction
As if you were buying a horse.
It’s important you don’t end up stuck
With a woman unable to cook
So ignore all their bitching
They belong in the kitchen
With Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s book.
And a woman with warmth and with charm
Who’s always so cool and so calm
Who talks sport and art is
A winner at parties
Will always look well on your arm.
And you’ll never have words or a row
With a woman who pulls on a plough
Cos you’ll never need tell her
“Get t’coil up from t’cellar”
Or “Muck out that pig or that cow”.
And everyman’s boastful and brags
When his girl’s like those footballer’s wags
When she’s such a good-looker
Photographers took her
Snaps for celebrity mags.
But their strength and their cooking and grace
And beauty will fade without trace
So a word to the wise
In that what I advise
Is a woman who’ll sit on your face.

Is this a modern theme on that well-known old adage -
A woman should know her place?
