Humorous Poems: I. Woman

Woman

Anonymous

WHEN Eve brought woe to all mankind

Old Adam called her wo-man;

But when she wooed with love so kind,

He then pronounced her woo-man.

But now, with folly and with pride,

Their husbands’ pockets trimming,

The women are so full of whims

That men pronounce them wimmen!
