My dad one day
explained women to me.
Home from college
he had planned it;
a special moment between us
and curious beyond belief
and I was all aquiver
anticipating
what my Dad would have to say.
'Now keep in mind 'he said.
'women are not like men
they are always thinking
always feeling
and they pay attention to everything.
Nothing is neutral
when it comes to your female species.
Now you and us menses
can live in caves
eating pizza
and would
if we had the chance;
they civilized us
introduced us to china
forks and spoons
and clean underwear.
Now your dirty socks piled up over there
won't do
if you want to get married
Turn your head to special
days, birthdays and anniversaries
and the day you and your future wife first meet.
Your first date.
Write those dates down on your forehead
Learn to like all women,
but love only
The One.
Don't even
when dating
sneak a peak
at passing Ones.
Don't look too low
at the Twins
