To contemplate the mysteries of life,

A man must talk them over with his wife,

His necessities won't be hers,

And of course the reverse.

To him a rugby game is gravity in the extreme,

To her it's 15 more lots of laundry to clean,

He talks about the traditions

And the spirit of the game,

She sees 30 grown men getting dirty and chasing a bag of wind,

And to her that seems quite insane.

We all come out of mother,

But the road signs are very different,

To sisters,

And for brothers.
