Women Only Religious Services -- A Poem inspired from a New York Times story by Lela Moore.



Lela Moore is an audience writer for The New York Times. She raises rutabagas in her spare time.



Women-only religious services are increasing in popularity among evangelical Christians; there are similar services for Jewish and Muslim women as well. 
Lela Moore, writing in the New York Times. 


Some time apart can really bless
a Christian union under stress.
Although in love as man and wife,
the two in tandem will find strife.

And so a time and place reserved
for women keeps their love preserved.
For let us face it, all you guys --
sometimes we are not such a prize.

But have a care, you celebrants,
to shun those ancient revenants 
whose women-only cultish fads
led to the excess of Maenads!
