Of what use is a wife

That hates to cook with a knife

Of what value is a womb

That refuses to nurture and bloom

Of what use is the breast

That always gives milk a rest

Of what use is a marriage

With children obese or hungry like mirage

Of what use is PhD and money

And always eat out till morning

A woman only pretty or educated

Is like a picture laminated
