The Tamin' of the Preyin' Mantis


The 'Tamin' o' the Shrew'
Was not somethin' you knew;
It was the tamin' o' the preyin' mantis
Not the play to reveal the success of Baptis';

In the Straits o' Hormuz
The male mantis will abuse;

After copulation
The female is at her station;
And the heed o' the male
is eaten by the creation -
of the world!

Women came from Mars;
Men came from Venus;
That's why they're so fiery!!
Bang! Bang!
