The Abdication.

Woman sat throne in the good old days gone by;
Man worshpped At that throne and a.ked no reason
why
Woman was high and apart from tho man who
bowed him down.
But she laughed when he laughed. and whom he
sighed she smoothcd the angry frown.
And gave him her loving heart whom she gave him
her soft white hand.
And she did her best TO make them Q nest called
home in the happy land.
And she did her best through the long full yearu to
help him to his goal.
And her children and he. and her homo and hearth
were part OF her heart and soul
But then came . sad. sad day-woman raised her
head.
And thoughts "well. all these weary yeas I've
been far worse than deadr'
And said: Man rules the earth-too long has he hsd
power.
The taxes pay. so TIL have q say. and now is the
time and hour"
And. foolish, .he then set forth and initiated
men,
Learnt what they learnt. said what they said. and
caught up tho gavel and pen.
Then doctor she was. and then she studied law.
And then she went and her time she spent in waging
Abolish war.
For she said. L FREQ and strong" and she said
"Now must vote"
30 she spoke from tho stump with her children at
home) and then with her pen she wrote.
Mon laughed up their sleeves. Superior arc
we.
For she initiates tho things do, and to oh Q
bows the knee.
Once she high and apart. and men they bowed
them down.
But even the women bow. and they give us
frown for frown
She has como down from her throne 70 mingle with
those below.
Though warned her long that she was wrong.
but she thought that we did not know.
And warned her long ere the day had como
when women tried TO he men.
But just the same. right down she came, nor would
she 90 mp again.
And thus the foolish seeds OF discomfort wero
sown,
And she never Thought what she had lost whom she
came down from her throne.
And she never thought through the weary days whom
level with men
She learnt what they learnt and did what they did.
with the brush and the tongue and the pen.
