Poem 300

In plain words

When the women all go off to work at jobs, who are the housewives to see to the tasks of the home? When husband and wife both go off to offices, who are the women to do the housework? When they go to schools to teach other people's boys, who are the mothers to teach their own boys? When they take up books and go out like the men, who are the women to keep the kitchen in order? Though the troubles that money brings be eased, how much is lacking in the home! Go looking for happiness, and it is only a zero, ever, for the woman who holds a post at work.
