A friend just sent me this poem which I hadn�t seen since I was at university. As it was women�s day a few days ago I thought I�d share it with all of you  

Call a woman a kitten, but never a cat:

 you can call her a mouse, cannot call her a rat:

call a woman a chicken, but never a hen!

Or you severely will not be her caller again.

You can call her a duck, cannot call her a goose,

you can call her a deer, but never a moose;

you can call her a lamb, but never a sheep;

 economic she likes, but you can�t call her cheap.

You can say she is a vision, can�t say she�s sight.

And no woman is skinny, she�s slender and slight.

If she should burn you up, say she sets you a fire;

and you�ll always be welcome, you tricky old liar.

John Donovan
