Blatantly Stolen from comments below article:
“I am WOMAN!
Hear me moan!
I can't do it.
On my own!
I need someone else to.
Take care of me!
With entitlements
Cradle to grave,
The weaker sex.
Will now be saved!
It's a trade-off.
I am now no longer free!”

When I grow up I want to be a
bon vivant, just like the Kenyan-in-Chief!
Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Moochelle, one of earth’s bon vivants
Is a scold, like my old maiden aunts
Says to: “Watch your food cravings,
Be careful with savings”
While she eats and she spends what she wants
