HOW MANY WOMEN DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?




The Chinese once wrote


a philosophical note


about how the men shouldn't shirk.


The view that evolved


for changing a bulb


was many hands make the light work.


What they failed to say

in a practical way

was what is the role for a woman.

I saw on a wall

the following scrawl

probably a rather bad omen.

"While men and dogs

were meant to roam,

women and children

should stop at home."
