Sum It
Girls are from Venus.
Guys are from Mars.
It shows in their genus,
and even in cars.
Martians drive Fords
and stocky red pick-ups;
women, Accords
while battling their hiccups
in mirrors they’ve plated
with lipstick and powder.
Ach! Men are V-8’ed,
their engines run louder.
Venus is peppery,
Mars, more like salt.
Men sport their weaponry —
girls, their gestalt!
