God made light and water; he made plants grow in the cool damp earth until the sky turned blue; he made the sun and moon, the fish and birds, and the animals. They tell me that afterwards God made man, but I guess he saved the best till last… woman.

"I'm A Woman"
Well I can wash out forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em on the line.
You know I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'fore you can count from one to nine.
I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can.
Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping,
And be back before it melts in the pan.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Well I can rub and scrub
'til this house shines just like a dime.
Feed the baby, grease the car,
Powder my nose at the same time.
You know I can get all dressed up,
Go out swinging with the M-A-N,
Jump in bed at five, sleep 'til 6,
And start all over again.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Let me tell ya again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Well now if you come to me sick,
You know that I'm gonna make you well.
And if you come to me all hexed up,
You know I'm gonna break the spell.
And if you come to me hungry,
You know I'll feed ya full of my grits.
And if it's loving you want,
I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'll say it again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
Well, I got a twenty dollar gold fee
That says there's nothing that I can't do.
Well, I can make a dress out of feeding sacks,
And I can make a man out Of you.
'Cause I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'll say it again.
I'm a woman...
W-O-M-A-N.
I'm a woman.
I'm a woman.
I'm a woman.
Yeah, I'm a woman.
And when all that is done,
we'll work on Herstory!
God: Let's see I made fish, fowl, animals, man; did I forget something? Oh yeah...woman and baby-back ribs."

great drabble,Sheila..
But thankful not to have PMS
Rather glad I don't wear a dress
And under arm shaving
That's as bad as it gets
