“Oh! Look at the girl
Who broke her umbrella
Look at her whine and cry
Oh, what a miserable creature
Weeping for the stupidest ally.”
“Women- such puny beings,
Emotionally connected to anything,
Born with weak, soft hearts
Which, just like the umbrella,
Could be broken with a few darts.”
Such are the notions of women,
Ironically by people
Who themselves aren’t female
And in the case of a heartbroken girl,
The entire womankind is frail.
