Sexism, god help us (1 Viewer)

Some people get savage and bitter when to
backbiters they refer,
But I just purr.
Yes, some people consider backbiters to be
rankest of the rank,
But frankly, I prefer them to people who go
around being frank,
Because usually when you are backbitten
behind your back you don’t know about it
and it doesn’t leave a trace,
But frankness consists of having your back
bitten right to your face,
And as if that weren’t enough to scar you,
Why you are right there in person to scotch the
defamation, and if you don’t happen to be
able to scotch it, why where are you?
Frank people are grim, but genuine backbiters
are delightful to have around,
Because they are so anxious that if what they
have been saying about you has reached
your ears you shouldn’t believe it, that
they are the most amiable companions to
be found;
They will entertain you from sunset to dawn,
And cater encouragingly to all your weaknesses
so that they can broadcast them later on,
So what if they do gnaw on your spine after
enjoying your beer and skittles?
I don’t blame them the least of jots or tittles,
Because certainly no pastime such diversion
lends
As talking friends over analytically with
friends,
So what if as they leave your house or you
leave theirs backbiters strip your flesh
and your clothes off,
At least it is your back that they bite, and not
your nose off.
I believe in a place for everything and
everything in its place,
And I don’t care how unkind the things people
say about me so long as they don’t say
them to my face.
