Men - by Dorothy Parker


They hail you as their morning star
Because you are the way you are.


If you return the sentiment,
They'll try to make you different;


And once they have you, safe and sound,
They want to change you all around.


Your moods and ways they put a curse on;
They'd make of you another person.


They cannot let you go your gait;
They influence and educate.


They'd alter all that they admired.
They make me sick, they make me tired.
