C J Dennis - `Fathercraft`
Work rating: Low

Well (said the small, meek man) we look for change
   In this sad world, for these are stirring days;
And men pin hopes to methods new and strange
   And see lost happiness thro` altered ways.
And I, who many a bitter cup have quaffed,
Hailed with delight this cult of Fathercraft.
 
But (said the small, meek man) I`ve scanned the rules
   And studied well all that this author says,
Oh, I have pinned such faith to modern schools,
   Hoping one day to see a great light blaze.
And now, it seems, I`m rather at a loss;
For all I glean is that the wife should be boss.
 
If (said the small, meek man) yielding one`s pay,
   Yielding one`s will, seems new to Fathercraft,
And letting woman have her own sweet way;
   Then (said the small, meek man) the author`s daft!
I had such hopes!  But, far as I can see,
Things go on in the same old way.  Ah, me!
