You should be lucky to be born as a boy/girl?,

You should be  lucky to be born as a boy/girl?,

(I read an article saying  that you  should be extremely  lucky to be born as a boy.? Is it true?)

Boys need never   to get a make up done,

They  need   not  grow  long   hair at all,

But    every  month they  have  to get a hair cut,

And daily   they have  to have  a face shave.

Though girls   need   to get made up often,

Though    they need  to  grow   their hair long,

Though they have   to bother  about periods   every month,

They  can attract  others  unlike  a  boy  .

Whether  boys  have to go   to delhi or USA,

Or go  to the local  market    or to the post office,

All that they   need   to have, is their usual,

Full pant   and shirt, once in a while  washed and ironed.

Daily   and possibly  for every hour   girls need  to wear,

A different cloth and for attending   a party,

Or a marriage they need to dress  up well,

So that  they are centre  of attraction  of all.

Whether  guests come to boy’s   home for a visit,

Or they   have   to visit   yet    another   home

They can talk    anything    from politics  to science,

Without bothering   about   the impression   they make

When visitors  come to the girl’s  home  or they go,

To visit  some other   friends home ,

They   should not talk  all the non sense  they like,

For    they have to bother about  the impression they make.

Whatever  may the festival   or function at home,

Without bothering   about  matching   cloths,

Without bothering   about  wearing any ornament,

Boys  can always  appear    with a dhothi  and Banyan

Whenever there  is a function or festival   at home ,

Girls   should  dress up   and attract  all others,

And bother   about   the impression that   they make,

And they have essentially  to bother  as to what  they wear.

Boys need not bother  about white hairs,

Nor the increasing  circumference  of their hip,

Nor  bother  about what  they regularly  eat  ,

So that   their    weight   would increase

AS attraction   and beauty  is a girl’s  birth right,

They have to be careful   as  to how they look,

And they   should bother   about to have a pretty look,

Which is slim , less  hip size and  very charming.
