The girls all gathered for a rare, special treat
Touted as something that couldn’t be beat
Each one brought, her husband or mate
Some of them even brought their last date
Standing in a cornfield, far away from town
The men were getting antsy, starting to frown
They didn’t understand, why they were there
The women kept chattering, they didn’t care
When the men found out, what a surprise!
There was a rocket ship, in front of their eyes
The women urged them, to climb on board
Knowing pretty soon, they’d get their reward
The rocket doors closed, there was no escape
They had tricked the men, who stood, agape
The thrusters fired the ship, clear off the ground
The laughter from the ladies, did clearly abound
Waving goodbye, to those left standing on land
You have to wonder, who had the upper hand…

Lovely. I guess it depends on where the rocket ship was going to determine who had the upper hand. 😁
