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
