[He]
But she would have a problem from day one: “First Man” won’t do
To designate her consort, and "First Gentleman"'s absurd!
[She]
It barely matters what he's called—or was called hitherto
I'd happily accept whatever title he preferred

But when she finally decides, she acts with verve and vim.
[He]
I’ve said my piece to no avail, so let the lady run
(I wonder if she'll dare to choose a female running mate!)
[She]
A pair of she’s instead of he’s? How clearly opportune!
They'd show that women can indeed direct the ship of state!
THE END
[He]
But she would have a problem from day one: “First Man” won’t do
To designate her consort, and "First Gentleman"'s absurd!
[She]
It barely matters what he's called—or was called hitherto
I'd happily accept whatever title he preferred
[He]
Of course you would—as long as Madame Wifey wins the vote!
She'd give him minor tasks like choosing pictures for the walls
[She]
Or fetching Chinese take-out while she keeps the world afloat.
If that's too dull, he might show tourists round the White House halls
[He]
I'd love to see "her highness" facing Putin in a skirt
Or hectoring in high-pitched tones some oil-rich sheikh or prince
[She]
A little touch of estrogen can change the worst stuffed shirt
As proved by Cleopatra, Good Queen Bess, and others since
[He]
It’s just not done (at least not yet)! Who knows what she might say!
I've heard that Mrs Thatcher's "No, no, no!" riled Europe's chiefs
[She]
It did, indeed, but Britain’s pound still hasn’t gone away.
You see, impassioned women can enforce their strong beliefs.
[He]
"Impassioned" is what worries me ("hormonal," if you will)
She'd launch a nuclear strike, and then abort it, on a whim
[She]
To change her mind's her raison d'être, a duty to fulfill
But when she finally decides, she acts with verve and vim.
[He]
I’ve said my piece to no avail, so let the lady run
(I wonder if she'll dare to choose a female running mate!)
[She]
A pair of she’s instead of he’s? How clearly opportune!
They'd show that women can indeed direct the ship of state!
