Said Mr. Jones in 1910:

"Women, subject yourselves to men."

Nineteen-Eleven heard him quote:

"They rule the world without the vote."

By Nineteen-Twelve, he would submit

"When all the women wanted it."

By Nineteen-Thirteen, looking glum,

He said that it was bound to come.

This year I heard him say with pride:

"No reasons on the other side!"

By Nineteen-Fifteen, he'll insist

He's always been a suffragist.

And what is really stranger, too,

He'll think that what he says is true.
