Fantastic Women!

(International Women's Day!)

 

Women are fantastic 

Although, sometimes,  erratic

They have eyes in the back of their heads

As well as at the front

That can shoot little daggers

When you're being a total …naughty boy

 

They can do 3 things at once

And not break a sweat

And instinctively know

When you've placed a winning bet!

 

They smell money as if  it's perfumed 

And can sniff it out at will

When Sherlock Holmes would struggle 

They can find it still!

 

They hold memories like an elephant

And remember everything!

What you did last summer 

They'll regurgitate in spring!

 

They're loving & they're sexy

They can kill you with a smile

Even the manliest of men

Can become a blubbering child!

 

They'll out work you in the office 

Out graft you on the shopfloor 

Don't give them lip, they take no shit

They'll soon show you the door!

 

They grow people in their bellies!

Go through menopausal strife

And this, of course, I know because 

I've got one for a wife!

I had a mother, 6 aunts and 4 sisters. That was quite enough
for me. But I certainly admire the many abilities of the female
sex, not least to convince modern men that they are "victims" when they are so influential in male lives from birth to death -
and, ironically create the mentality that drives male ambition and determination via their own oft-expressed expectations.
