Power and money

The worst possible spring to make men misbehave :(

Enjoy your Verse

I never heard of Jointure,

for that I commend you much

You challenge us to think and learn,

and feel for the touch.

Our liife is based on English law

centuries passed but progress flailed.

Jointure remains, laws intact

Our strength tested by jibes and tack.

The law has changed

to some degree.

Now women and men

must determine who's free.
