Ten hundred books could I write you about her
|
Because I felt if I could know her
|
I would know all women
|
And they've not been any too well known
|
for brains and planning and organised thinking
|
But I'm sure the women are equal
|
And they may be ahead of the men
|
|
Yet I wouldn't spread such a rumor around
|
because one organises the other
|
And sometimes the most lost and wasted
|
attract the most balanced and sane
|
And the wild and the reckless take up
|
with the clocked and the timed
|
And the mixture is all of us
|
And we're still mixing
|
|
But never, never, never,
|
Never could have it been done
|
If the women hadn't entered into the deal
|
Like she came along to me
|
|
And all creeds and kinds and colors
|
of us are blending
|
Till I suppose ten million years from now
|
we'll all be just alike
|
Same color, same size, working together
|
And maybe we'll have all of the fascists
|
out of the way by then
|
Maybe so.
