The Bear, The Tiger, The Hamster and The Mole - Lynne Wintersteller[00:00:00]

Stop[00:00:07]

All right that's it[00:00:10]

That's the one that does it[00:00:11]

I've had it with that song and dance[00:00:12]

A man must this and a woman must that[00:00:14]

Till relationships don't stand a chance[00:00:17]

I'm sorry to shout[00:00:20]

But I'm up to here[00:00:20]

With all that crap about man and wife[00:00:22]

For I thank god am a scientist[00:00:25]

And I know the real facts of life[00:00:29]

Like a soul possessed[00:00:41]

I have studies and assessed[00:00:43]

The creatures of this earth[00:00:44]

And from moose to eel[00:00:47]

What my studies most reveal[00:00:48]

Is the male's inflated worth[00:00:50]

For in most of the animal kingdom[00:00:53]

The ladies only seldom need men[00:00:56]

Their dealings are straight[00:00:59]

They meet them to mate[00:01:00]

And never see them again[00:01:02]

The bear the tiger the hamster and the mole[00:01:05]

Have females who live fruitful lives outside of male control[00:01:10]

For one mindless spasm they allow the male his role[00:01:16]

That's marriage for the tiger bear and hamster[00:01:22]

Now the mole who's blind[00:01:28]

Will never be confined[00:01:30]

To one male she's merely felt[00:01:31]

Once his seed is sown[00:01:34]

She has her babes along[00:01:35]

In the hole where the male mole dwelt[00:01:37]

And as for the boa constrictor[00:01:40]

She needs no more than one male response[00:01:43]

For when it appears[00:01:46]

She stores it for years[00:01:47]

To use whenever she wants[00:01:49]

The ray the rhino the penguin and the tern[00:01:52]

Those females know that motherhood is not a male concern[00:01:57]

Of course they're not human but they show what we can learn[00:02:03]

They point the way the rhino ray and penguin[00:02:09]

In a field or brook[00:02:16]

Almost anywhere you look[00:02:17]

Are mothers on their own[00:02:18]

In the deep on high[00:02:21]

Mothers kiss their mates goodbye[00:02:23]

And they raise their young alone[00:02:24]

Now I make no brief for the mantis[00:02:27]

Who decapitates her mate during sex[00:02:30]

But I do like the auk[00:02:33]

Who mates with a squawk[00:02:35]

And then throws rocks at her ex[00:02:36]

The bitch the vixen the queen bee and the shrew[00:02:39]

What men have done to those fine words we never can undo[00:02:45]

They're strong working mothers yes they're just like me and you[00:02:51]

Let's redefine the shrew the bitch and vixen[00:02:57]

And be like the seagull[00:03:03]

Roam free as the lynx[00:03:09]

And cruise like the caribous if we choose[00:03:14]

And not have to wait for those sly little winks[00:03:21]

From some man who envies the sex life of minks[00:03:24]

And not have to guess if he's one of the finks[00:03:27]

Or whether he drinks[00:03:30]

Or whether he stinks[00:03:31]

Or what he thinks[00:03:33]

Of me[00:03:36]

Now of course if fate[00:03:42]

Should put upon my plate[00:03:43]

That quintessential male[00:03:45]

I would stick like glue[00:03:47]

Yes I would be as true[00:03:49]

As any beaver owl or whale[00:03:51]

But till then I'll envy the oyster[00:03:53]

Who lives a happy life on the shelf[00:03:57]

When she wants a term[00:03:59]

She releases some sperm[00:04:01]

And fertilizes herself[00:04:02]

The hare the condor the guppy and the bream[00:04:05]

They're all out there doing what humans only dream[00:04:11]

Come march toward the future on my scientific team[00:04:17]

For now that you've seen and can compare[00:04:23]

Why anyone with the will to dare[00:04:26]

Can follow the tiger and the bear[00:04:29]

And hamster[00:04:32]

And mole[00:04:34]

And me[00:04:37]
