What Kind of Woman? (Poem)

And now, our prompt (remember — these are optional, so if they don’t inspire you or you have an idea of your own you want to work with, go ahead!). I’m playing to my own strengths here, but I challenge you to write a sea shanty (or shantey, or chanty, or chantey — there’s a good deal of disagreement regarding the spelling!). Anyway, these are poems in the forms of songs, strongly rhymed and rhythmic, that sailors might sing while hauling on ropes and performing other sea-going labors. Probably the two most famous sea shanties are What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor? and Blow the Man Down. And what should your poem be about? Well, I suppose it could be about anything, although some nautical phrases tossed into the chorus would be good for keeping the sea in your shanty. Haul away, boys, haul away!-from NaPoWriMo blog.

Hey, hey, what can I say?
What kind of woman can make me feel this way?
Working so hard today
(Work so hard every day)
Thinking about her is what gets me through most days.

Hey, hey, what do you say?
Do you have a woman to make you feel okay?
Working so hard today
(Work so hard every day)
I think you'll be better if you find someone today.

Hey, hey, what does she say?
Does she wait at home for me every single day?
Working so hard today
(Work so hard every day)
She thinks she might find a better man someday.

Hey, hey, what does he say?
Who is this other guy who makes her feel this way?
Working so hard today
(Work so hard every day)
She thinks he's better in a few subtle ways.

Hey, hey, what can I say?
What kind of woman can make me feel this way?
Working so hard today
(Work so hard everyday)
I think I'll find a better one who won't run away.
