COVID 9 - MAN and WOMAN

COVID man versus COVID woman
Man:
Who knew? Men like to risk it for a biscuit
I do too, yes I will run, so should you
We have a god-given right to exercise
Despite any curfew
Stay in your homes they say, hooray!
Well that is fine if you're a woman
You are used to these home comforts
Us men should be out in the open
You know getting our fill of Nature's bill
Hunting and killing the lion
Putting food on the table,
No, never mind the label
I don't mean we like going shopping
I mean we are the Bread winners aren't we?
We must make pay dirt, we have to fill
Our pipes and get started upholding the economy
If we stop so does the industry
And there are not enough in reserves to kick start it
So better be smart kid, keep going out in it
Come rain or hail or government brutality

But I mean come on we are all afraid are n't we?
It takes a man to admit that honestly
But what do you expect of me, give up just quit?
Why should I listen to their Authority!

Woman:
Why must you always try to break the rules?
If half the people in the country acted like you
There'd be no separation no one would stay in doors
And the virus would spread more and more
Why must you always push the boundaries
You want to be told off or reprimanded?
You Want to go to prison or pay a hefty fine?
Then carry on with your running, it is organized crime

You know I heard on the Radio more men than women die of COVID
It is the case that women have better immunology, they have two XXs see
In their chromosomes it is clear in our DNA
Where as men are XY it means they go astray
Its like they are right only half the time
The rest of the time they are just asking Why?
Why Y? Why X? It all is a mess, all I know is
Its in our biology - women therefore, without doubt, furthermore
Are right all of the time!

MAN:
Ah slight correction - where would women be without men?
Stuck in a cave somewhere still eating berries! There's no
hunter spirit, killer instinct that a man has for innovation
He left his cave to hunt it took him all the way to the moon
That is why it was one Giant leap for Mankind


WOMAN: Oh you are insufferable! What do you think would have happened to the children
While the man was out playing the hero, if the woman did not clothe and feed them?
Their berries nuts and fruit provided most of the essential nutrients
Without women humanity wouldn't have gone anywhere - forget the moon
They would n't have made it passed the camp fire!
And have you never heard necessity is the 'Mother of Invention' not the Father!
Making do when you have ought, that is what it is all about

And what about this after this crisis is over - there will be fewer men in the country,
So who do think will be running things then hey?
Yes that's right - THE WOMEN!
