WHY WOMEN SHOULD STAY HOME TO RAISE THEIR YOUNG AND WHY MEN MUST NOT GO WHALING

WHY  WOMEN  SHOULD  STAY  HOME  TO  RAISE  THEIR YOUNG

AND  WHY  MEN MUST  NOT  GO  WHALING

Because they come back with fish stories

And those about the one who got away

If they went to Brokeback mountain

They come back with no fish at all

And Ishmael was just following

A great big sperm whale

Called Moby Dick

Through the great big

Vast unknowns of brine

When he was really looking

 For a fresh water stream

With a divining rod

That took him places

He’d never gone before

And he got lost

Trying to find himself
