Act Like a Man

Your monarchs wore ruffles.

Everyone bowed, called them kings.

Your rulers wore silk.

No one dared say a thing.

Rosy cheeks for royal portraits.

Gold to showcase wealth.

Powder for pale youth.

Forever porcelain health.

Button your blouse.

Slip your gloves over hands.

Raise your head, honey.

Act like a man.
