because they ignore the front page and
read society and fashions, and wives are jeering at
their husbands because they ignore the front
page and read finance and sports,
And women think it is ridiculous of men to spend their
spare time reading a book or catching a fish or wield-
ing a racket or a putter, or getting tattooed,
And men think it is ridiculous of women to spend their
spare time talking about other women who aren't there,
or going from shop to shop trying, or getting manicured
or shampooed.
And men also think that women have an easy time be-cause
all they have to do is look after the household,
And what does that amount to but keeping an eye on the
children and seeing that three meals a day are served
and not allowing any litter to collect that would furnish
a foothold for a mousehold?
