Analysis of Kitchen And Bottom Power
Kitchen and Bottom Power
Caught between the bedroom and the kitchen
How can she lead her people?
Caught between her hips is manhood
How can she rule when she's under?
How can she cook and still rule?
When she spends most of her times in the kitchen and the bedroom?
How can she moan under his grip and still groan for power?
Is where her power lies in the kitchen?
Where she can gobble down chunks
before it gets to the dining table?
And the bedroom where she can dictate to the cunt-freak atop her?
How can she lead her people?
When she has dirty pants to wash
Children to bathe and take to school
Food to cook day and noon.
Can women leverage other possible powers not using her bottom and culinary skills?
