When women get votes, as I‘ve no doubt they will, When we found we couldn‘t be partisan, The first thing they‘ll do is to pass a new bill, Someone thought up a fine new plan; For to make it both lawful and just to shoot, But we very soon learned that no substitute Or to herd all old men in some Institute.
