truth or dare
women are here to please men
this is a reality
wake up to yourselves
and stop giving us a hard time
we know what you want
and we are here to give it to you
please face the facts
we define reality
and we have set aside a place for you too
we are not selfish
we have given up something of ours
so that you can run around a bit
we are here to protect you to keep you
from harming yourselves
we understand your problems
we have listened
and given it careful consideration
do not despair
you will get your turn
please leave your telephone number
and body size
we do not want the wrong ones in our homes
we believe you will appreciate this
our hearts need special attention
they are highly specialised machines
and will cease to function
if not properly oiled and maintained
and i believe you will appreciate
our machines are very important
without our machines
there could be no bombs
