When I was in the RN <br />All of my shipmates were men. <br />For women all frigates <br />Were strictly off limits, <br />So no skirts or dresses <br />To be seen in the messes. <br /> <br />Now the thought came to me <br />In the long days at sea <br />That a bloke is just great <br />To have as a mate <br />For the odd run ashore <br />In, say, Singapore <br /> <br />But otherwise— <br />Perhaps no surprise, <br />I’d much sooner be <br />In feminine company <br />For women are much nicer, <br />Like Mona Lisa <br /> <br />They intrigue us men <br />And when <br />They smile at us so sweetly <br />We become completely <br />Under their spell <br />As they know so well. <br /> <br />Women are much prettier, <br />Their conversation wittier, <br />More subtle and more tender <br />Than we the other gender <br />So all of you take note: <br />To women I’m giving my vote!<br /><br />Pete Crowther<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/women-4/
