There was a time…

 

 

There was a time, when women were deprived 

And just sat there, sheepishly and meekly. 

But nowadays, we see with joy and pride 

That this has changed abruptly and completely. 

 

There was a time, when walking in a park, 

They were content to marvel at a flower. 

Those days are gone. The difference is stark: 

They've forged ahead and simply seized the power. 

 

There was a time – over a cup of tea, 

They would just chat or play a game of patience. 

Now, they all drive, and fly, and run IT 

Departments or entire corporations. 

 

There was a time, when time was real cool, 

And it flowed smoothly - hourly, daily, weekly… 

But now - it runs, and women proudly rule, 

While men just sit there, sheepishly and meekly. 

 

Happy International Women's Day!
