General Review Of The Sex Situation

Woman wants monogamy;
Man delights in novelty.
Love is woman's moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten, and man is bored.
With this the gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?

    A wonderful flow and rhyme scheme.

    And I think the part that stuck out the most was

    "Woman wants monogamy;
    Man delights in novelty."

    There's alot of truth in that

    Well that's one point of view!
    dorothy Parker had a knack for putting her point across in small packages and this poem is a good example. Whatever one thinks of the sentiments she has produced a memorable poem
