Edgar Guest - A Toast To The MenEdgar Guest - A Toast To The Men
Work rating: Medium


    Here`s to the men! Since Adam`s time       They`ve always been the same;     Whenever anything goes wrong,       The woman is to blame.     From early morn to late at night,       The men fault-finders are;     They blame us if they oversleep,       Or if they miss a car.     They blame us if, beneath the bed,     Their collar buttons roll;   They blame us if the fire is out     Or if there is no coal.   They blame us if they cut themselves     While shaving, and they swear   That we`re to blame if they decide     To go upon a tear.   Here`s to the men, the perfect men!     Who never are at fault;   They blame us if they chance to get     The pepper for the salt.   They blame us if their business fails,     Or back a losing horse;   And when it rains on holidays     The fault is ours, of course.   They blame us when they fall in love,     And when they married get;   Likewise they blame us when they`re sick,     And when they fall in debt.   For everything that crisscross goes     They say we are to blame;   But, after all, here`s to the men,     We love them just the same!
