Thread Name: Origins: More Work in a Day / Father Grumble
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Farmer can't do wife's work. Help
In last Guest post above, I'd bet that

"Boss he thought you clumsy lout
She spilled the pail and kicked him out"

In the original probably was

"Bossie thought, you clumsy lout ...

"Bossie" being a common, almost universal generic name for any cow.

As the thread is mature, and original questions answered, a side note might suggest some thoughts on more "modern warfare between the sexes:

Dude who wore pregnancy belly: 'I'm not man enough to be a woman'.

Maybe even a new song?

I think it's supposed to be humorous, but some of the female responses are pretty stern, and should be included if someone feels inspired.
