The Cook

An out of date saying from an out of date book
Some ageing Australian males refer to their wife as the cook
Of their sort one could feel quite safe for to say
That they do not give their wives flowers on Valentine's Day
Old blokes who never refer to their partner as the love of my life
Or use words for them such as honey or my dear or wife
Though the word cook seems harmless enough one cannot deny
That the status of women it does not glorify
The woman known as the cook serves her husband's needs in every way
From him she does not expect flowers on St Valentine's Day
To raise his children, cook his meals and wash his clothes is her duty in life she believe
And what we expect from life in return we usually receive
Whilst her husband is in the pub she is home cooking his tea
To her women's rights is not a good idea.
