A Toast to the Ladies

They grace our tables

 

with their elegance and their beauty,

 

Support us in our careers

 

as though it was their duty,

 

They listen to our problems

 

day after day,

 

The same old problems,

 

They´ve been listening to since May,

 

 

Chefs, accountants, nannies and councillors

 

are just a few of their talents.

 

And when things are hectic

 

they mostly keep their balance.

 

And what do they get

 

when they've worked a long hard day.

 

I'll tell you something gents

 

they don't ask for any pay.

 

So how can we show gratitude for what is clearly so demanding.

 

Its quite simple

 

Gentlemen, please be upstanding,

 

The Ladies
