deep emotional on some wrong sides of female writers, also have some logics behind composing this humorous poem, .....at present women also seen offending men doing unnecessary things, spending abuse words, ...... well done by Amy Lowell

It looks so familiar to me... I wonder whether it was an adaption from the English translation of a classical Chinese poem.
