No time for a proper blog today as miles behind on EVERYTHING, but here is a pome I wrote years ago when I heard some chanting on the playground while walking past my son's school. It answers that age old question that has vexed 6 year old's for decades, if not centuries...
Boys are better than gir - irls, Boys are better than gir-irls – TRUE
The boys think that they're somehow 'better' The girls think the boys have it wrong But now, I'm afraid, it's official The former were right all along
The announcement was made out of Whitehall Today at a quarter to three Results from a ten-year survey Conclusive as any could be All lady MPs on the benches Have shuffled off home in a huff Advised to just stick to their cooking And washing and ironing and stuff
There's outrage from all women's libbers They're planning a wave of attacks But it's sour grapes in the long run It's pointless disputing the facts So rather than fighting 'gainst logic We hope they'll see sense and agree Disperse and go home to their families And make them a nice cup of tea
So if you tune in to watch 'Newsround' Don't fret if the young lady cries 'Cos now, I'm afraid, it's official We boys are much better
New blog post
No time for a proper blog today as miles behind on EVERYTHING, but here is a pome I wrote years ago when I heard some chanting on the playground while walking past my son's school. It answers that age old question that has vexed 6 year old's for decades, if not centuries...
Boys are better than gir - irls, Boys are better than gir-irls – TRUE
The boys think that they're somehow 'better'
The girls think the boys have it wrong
But now, I'm afraid, it's official
The former were right all along
The announcement was made out of Whitehall
Today at a quarter to three
Results from a ten-year survey
Conclusive as any could be
All lady MPs on the benches
Have shuffled off home in a huff
Advised to just stick to their cooking
And washing and ironing and stuff
There's outrage from all women's libbers
They're planning a wave of attacks
But it's sour grapes in the long run
It's pointless disputing the facts
So rather than fighting 'gainst logic
We hope they'll see sense and agree
Disperse and go home to their families
And make them a nice cup of tea
So if you tune in to watch 'Newsround'
Don't fret if the young lady cries
'Cos now, I'm afraid, it's official
We boys are much better
(at lies)
