Looking for Trouble.

Looking for Trouble.

If what “they say” is really true, that all the woes that vex
The men-folks are occasioned by the fairer, weaker sex,
The former ought to sail away across the wide, wide sea
To some far land where they could dwell in peace and harmony.
But should this ever come to pass, ’tis pretty safe to say,
From all we’ve seen and heard, that ere a month had passed away,
Even though there were no ships to cleave the ocean’s wildest swell,
The waters would be thick with men all swimming back, pell-mell!
-Nixon Waterman.
