Vocal Variety

VOCAL VARIETY!

Maxine has got this right at least!

Men haven't got a clue!

When it comes to things to talk about

They're not like me and you!

Sport dominates, that's obvious,

And they like some dirty jokes,

And they may embark on politics

When they're with the other blokes.

But that's about the end of it,

Unless, of course, they're old;

In which case there's a litany

About their latest cold!

Whereas we 'gals' are well-aware

Of why vocal cords were formed!

We're bursting with information

And dying to be informed!

Name a subject, and we'll cover it,

Even though it is obscure!

Philosophy? We'll have a go

Even though we're not too sure......

As for Knitting, Remedies and Wine,

Discipline, and the Tropics,

Films, and Books, and Magazines!

There's no end to the topics!

Not only that but we can chat

About ways of getting Thinner,

Even while we're rustling up

A huge calorific dinner!

It started way back in the caves

When the men were hunting game,

And the women and their children

Started giving things a name.

The men came home and grunted

(Which is what they're doing still)

While the women used their voices

As they organised the kill.

We're descended from those ladies

And the scientists have found

That the conversations of females

Really DO make the world go round.
