WE GIVE YOU MEN

We are calm

With our balm,

We are soft

And very swift

But we withdraw

When the law

Is too raw.

We are not rude

But we can be crude

And even go nude

For Jude

Our real dude.

When we brag

They say we nag,

When we tag

They say we sag,

But when we bag

They forget we wag.

When we sweat

We become great,

In our gown

And brown crown

We fly down the town.

We are women,

When the semen

Prunes our hymen

We give them men.

OUR POETRY ARCHIVE

At the eleventh hour

When everything goes sour

There is a power

That can shower

Rains on your flower.

A bit of mockery

At the bakery,

A bunch of flattery

At the gallery,

A whole diary

All, make up poetry.

When you cannot thrive

Despite the strive

Remember the hive,

It must not be five

Before you archive.

 THE EMPRESSES THAT RULE THE INK

The poetesses

 Who always think

The prophetesses

 Who never sink,

The princesses

 Who wear pink,

The priestesses

 Who never drink.

The duchesses

 That do not stink,

The deaconesses

 That also link

The actresses

 Who do wink

The lionesses

 That never blink.

The tigresses

That never shrink,

The empresses

That rule the ink.
