There once was a man who carried the world
Then one day, along came a woman
Everybody knew her name
The day before she told him:
“You look so tired, carrying that. Let me take it from your shoulders”
Man appalled said, “What shall I do for you to take care of my burden?”
She answered sweetly
“You only had to answer me”
And then she took the world right from him
He walked away
Free that day
But what about the woman
That man, only called her Woman when telling this story
What was her name
Nobody can say
Man only called her Woman
