The World Gone Topsy Turvy
by K. McLarren

Lads -

Can you imagine where we'd be
if women had ruled
throughout history?

Picture women hunting for food
we'd see a baby animal
and that would change our mood
we return to the cave - our hands empty
and children and men would go hungry

What if Jesus' disciples had mostly been female?
Would Christianity have been doomed to fail?
The ladies would have fought over the king
all wanting that wedding ring

If Columbus had been called Christina
she'd have sailed in circles
and not discovered America

And would we have a Mona Lisa
if Michelangelo had been Michelangela?

In the news we now debate
the female quota's fate
30% some demand
in order to change things in the land

Robert was a ladies' man
to please them he did all he can

Poems and songs he did write
and that is why we're here tonight
we love our Laddies
every one
So raise your glasses
and let's have fun!
