(Some time ago we published a verse, "I'm Glad I Am a Man," by Willard M. Baxter. The challenge did not go unanswered, as witness the following.-Editor.) When I see some guy who us a freak Convince himself that he's a sheik, I'm glad I am a woman. When I see how a furtive smile, A roll of eyes, a little style, Will make a fellow chase a mile, I'm glad I am a woman! When I hear fellows make the claim That they can manage any dame, I'm glad I am a woman: For everywhere I go I see Meek husbands, henpecked as can be; "Tis an amusing sight to me. I'm glad I am a woman! When I see fellows work like sin Accumulating lots of tin. I'm glad I am a woman. I know that on some girl they'll blow, Like millionaries [sic], that pile of dough, For candy, dinners, and a show. I'm glad I am a woman! [[newspaper clip article]] *** CONTENTMENT. Whenever I see women meet And kiss each other on the street. I'm glad I am a man. When I see lingerie displayed, Those georgette things in every shade, With lace medallions overlaid, I'm glad I am a man! When I see women powder up, Or kiss a homely poodle pup, I'm glad I am a man. When I look at the hats they wear, A doodad here, a stick-up there, In combinations wild and, rare, I'm glad I am a man! When on the street I see them crawl In shoes two sizes much too small, I'm glad I am a man. When I note all they have to show, (Displayed, or hinted at, you know,) In order to attract a beau, I'm glad I am a man! *** [[preprinted]] 113 [[/preprinted]]
