wouldn't the world be dull and louse,
without painted nails,skirts and blouse,
with delicate limbs,gestures demure,
how well do they us allure!

kohl-lined sparkling eye,
long tresses in henna dye,
melodious voice and tinkling toe,
without a sword behead their foe.

from Cleopatra to Helen unchallenged they rule,
taming brave warriors into innocent mules,
fair hand that cradle rock,
cruelly punish and shock,
its true that in our heart they lie,
but they are more than just.....'feast for the eye'
