Poem on the Perfect Wife

A perfect wife- who can find her?
She plans beyond and co-signs a prenuptial.

Her husband has confidence in her,
from her he will derive no little profit

Earnings and not children she brings him
all the days of her life.

She is always busy with e-mail and with fax,
she does her work with eager hands.

She is like an armored car
protecting her assets day after day

She gets up while it is still dark
giving her stockbroker a call
giving orders to hurry up and buy

She sets her mind on a company, then she buys it
with what her hands have earned she plans to reinvest

She backs up all her work
in the event her computer should freeze

On the weekends,
She finds her labour well worth while;
she and her husband can afford to go out at night

She rules with a firm hand her work staff
her fingers type furious e-mail

She holds out her hand to potential customers
She closes her office door to the needy

Economic crisis may come, she has no fears for her security,
with all her finances readily accessible

She makes her own way in the world,
she is dressed in fine business suits of the season

Her husband is respected at the city council,
taking his seat among the oldest investors of the land

She weaves business plans and sells them,
to the executive board at the meetings

She has a portfolio and liquid assets,
she can laugh at the days to come.

When she opens her mouth, she does so quickly;
on her tongue is snappy instruction

She keeps good watch on the conduct of her office,
no breaks or idleness for her.

Her executives stand up and proclaim her VIP,
her husband, too, applauds her successes

"Many women have accomplished things,
but you surpass them all!"

Charm is deceitful, and beauty wimpy;
the woman who is high-up is the one to praise.

Give her her share in what her hands have worked for,
should she file for a divorce..

and let her earnings make her comparable to Bill Gates
