If They Meant All They Said

Charm is a woman's strongest arm;

My charwoman is full of charm;

I chose her, not for strength of arm

But for her strange elusive charm.

And how tears heighten woman's powers!

My typist weeps for hours and hours:

I took her for her weeping powers —

They so delight my business hours.

A woman lives by intuition.

Though my accountant shuns addition

She has the rarest intuition.

( And I myself can do addition. )

Timidity in girls is nice.

My cook is so afraid of mice.

Now you'll admit it's very nice

To feel your cook's afraid of mice.
