Even as she garners expertise in a variety of fields, a woman is often judged for her prowess as a homemaker alone.
Even as she garners expertise in a variety of fields, a woman is often judged for her prowess as a homemaker – while her male counterpart easily escapes being marked for his role as a partner or parent.
It is indeed sad that the yellow stains on his shirt are enough to pull down her expertise as a group leader, a sportsperson, a technician, a teacher or simply a human being. To all those women who have been let down for stained shirts and more……
There were those yellow stains on his shirt She couldn’t get them away The detergent didn’t help much She tried anyway.
They saw the yellow stains Nothing could be worse His honour was at stake Couldn’t she have rubbed enough?
Those yellow stains would stay As long as she chose her ways With life invested in office files Blotches would forever stay.
Yellow stains are irresponsible They exhibit promiscuous ways Those appraisals hardly mean a thing Until you get those stains away!
And so they hang the yellow stains On the right-most shelf with the appreciation card So the next time you walk into her house You don’t miss The Yellow Stains.
