THE BATTLE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#7

men on the whole don't speak so

women don't tend much to listen

yet, when women attempt to speak

men start to cuddle or kiss them

as long as there is man there will

always be problems between her and him

emotional levels run high when circumstances

get grim

colliding with reminiscent days long gone past

when man was the chief decision maker and woman

agreed to such terms for her dye had indeed been

cast

men can be quite dangerous with their dashing

rugged looks and award winning charm

to the romantic female mind he is the silent trip

wire whose ingeniousness passes by any logic's alarm

and he always manages to do so with such plot full

grace

though he may be strength within itself its still

our job to keep him in his proper place

which is at home with us

no ifs, and or buts............
