There Are Women.

There are women who are comely,
There are women who are homely-
But be careful how the latter thing you
say
There are women who are healthy,
There are women who are wealthy,
There are women who will always have
their way.
There are women who are truthful.
There are women who are youthful,
CWas there ever any women that was

There are women who are sainted.
There are women who are painted.
There are women who are worth their
weight in gold.
There are women who are tender,
There are women who are slender,
There are women very large and fat and

There are women who are married,
There are women who have tarried,
There are women who are speechless-but
they're dead.
