After such a triumph as the
What could've depressed
What possessed her?
I cannot understand the at all.

Women are irrational, all there is to that!
Their heads are of cotton, hay, and rags!
They're but exasperating, irritating,
vacillating, calculating, agitating,
and infuriating hags!
[To

Pickering: I beg your

Yes...
Why can't a be more like a man?
Men are so honest, so square;
noble, historically fair;
Who, when you win, will give your back a pat.
Why can't a woman be that?

Why does ev'ryone do what the do?
Can't a woman learn to use her
Why do they do ev'rything mothers do?
Why don't they grow up- well, like father instead?

And on as if my home were in a tree?
Would I run off and never tell me I'm going?
Why a woman be like me?
