To the gross and the plebs
its major disaster without urchins
for this is easy money in welfare checks
State does the rest as they move from Mary to Jane
from Chris to Linda to Joan, don't tie me down woman
real men are boys so Cliff Richard, Ricky Gervase, Jon Hamm
Christopher Walken and thousands of other real men you're boys
and all your Taxes are raising the children of the MEN who move
from Sarah to Mandy to  Suzy to Kelly to Melanie to Josephine to Joy
and hurray to all the fatherless children and those mothers who say
' your father was just a ****' and I was a *******. Yes ma'am you were
We're seeing a much needed sea change in how we talk about women who decide not to become mothers. It's about time we have the same conversation about men too, “In a period of great economic instability, some people feel staying childless is better for the world and the environment – it’s a moral and ethical choice. The historical idea of having children so they could look after you in your old age or to stave off loneliness is becoming old-fashioned – few would want to actively burden their offspring in that way.”
