NA PO WRI MO, DAY 14: THE RELUCTANT QUEEN

The Reluctant Queen

Good Queen Nefertiri
Would often grow weary
Of her husband's amorous intentions.

“O, great Pharaoh Rameses,
My head aches, don’t mess with me
To your harem devote your attentions!”

ON THE TROUBLE WITH HAREMS AND POLYGAMY

Looked the hen at the cock
And the cock at the hen
Said the cock to the hen,
"How I wish you were ten!"

Said the hen to the cock,
"You're as hard as a rock,
But your self-esteem mocks
the true power of men!

"For you have not the strength
Nor, I daresay, the length
To handle us singly
Or, with your small dingly,

To handle us in groups of ten!"

Now, the cock, he was sad
But this insight he had:
To be henpecked by one,
Can never be fun, but

Being henpecked by ten is quite mad.
