GOOSE AND GANDER!!!


The rules were never the same
since I took your name
I had to toe the line
and to the house myself confine.

Be your maid and mistress
Help you unwind the day's stress !
You pursued your career and your dreams
No time or thought to spare for me.

As a mother I ought to be happy
just changing my child's nappy!!
Last to sleep, the first to be up
Smilingly offer you a hot tea cup.

You could insult, you could scream
You had the right, since you fed me!
I should forgive your drunken abuse
After all you house me too!!!

You can go out when you need
and still pretend its a respectable life you lead !
Your philandering ways I'll no longer ignore
Nor sit quietly at home while you seek some more!!

My life I've reclaimed, my spirit too
So please remember...
What's sauce for the gander
is sauce for the goose too!!
