The Glass Ceiling

Hey, don’t worry about her

She is just a woman

She might have dressed up in a suit today

But she’s still just a woman

She might make an effort today to

Show us that she works twice as hard

But she won’t ever really be a man

To understand

Us.

She might stay over late, wink wink,

Or try in meetings to dominate,

What does she think?

Over-compensating is she ?

But she will never be a man

Why won’t she understand

And accept

It.

Soon she will go and get married

Soon she will go have kids

That will be the end of her in the company

She will be more inclined to do what her husband bids

And quit

And all the effort we would have invested in her

We would have lost it.

There is only so high she can rise

There is only so much she can open up

There is only so much she can open up

Doors, hearts, pants and what not

She will never be man enough

Now she acts like she has a chip on her shoulder

Why does she react so now that I have told her

The truth

She always acts like she has got something to prove

It’s we men who have got everything to lose

She can always quit and go on back home.
