No gal I know
is qualified
for the tricky task:
please bring me
binders full of women.
I search in Bain
for a dame
to fill this open slot:
please bring me
binders full of women.
I spin the rolodex,
I check the agencies,
I search my hanging files.
It's all for naught.
Though I have sought
I do not find:
please bring me
binders overflowing,
chock full
of proficient women.
