Men say there are nine muses
all female,
all source,
all inspiration
behind man’s creation.
I alone amuse myself,
a female
well enough,
tough enough
wise enough
behind my own creation.
We females are funny that way.
We have no time
to while away,
nor our egos sway,
where power games lay.
We do not play.
We females amuse ourselves
as we go on life’s way
to build lives better,
to make peace surer,
to allay furor
which gets in the way.
We find joy in every day.
We bring joy
to every girl and boy,
to every woman and man,
to all we can,
smiling all the way.
Men may need nine muses.
Women are happy to be
all nine at every time,
in every way,
on every day.
We women do not play.
